Polymer Clay Mixing Instructions for Summer Sun
Summer Sun is mixed using three colors of polymer clay Sculpey Souffle clay: Canary, Cornflower Blue, Cherry Pie
Step 1: Condition your clay well.
Step 2: Roll polymer clay out on the thickest setting of your pasta machine (or with an acrylic roller, placing the clay between two stacks of 5 playing cards each).
Step 3: Cut out one inch (2.5cm) squares from each. You will use 8 squares of Canary, one/eighth (⅛) square of Cornflower Blue, and one/eighth (⅛) square of Cherry Pie.
For the one-eighth (⅛) square, cut a one inch square into four even parts using a vertical and a horizontal slice through the middle of the square. Cut one of these four pieces in half, and you have one-eighth (⅛)of a square.
Step 4: Roll these 10 pieces of polymer clay together with your hands. (8 squares of Canary, 1/8 square of Cornflower Blue, and ⅛ square of Cherry Pie.)
Continue rolling these together, back and forth between your hands. You are done when you can no longer see any Yellow, Cornflower Blue or Cherry Pie- the colors are completely mixed together into a new color of polymer clay, Summer Sun!

Note: I’ve measured the colors of these clays with an electronic colorimeter and include the color hexcode for reference. Depending on where you are viewing (phone, tablet, laptop) etc, and how your screen color is calibrated, what you are seeing may not be precisely the color of the clay you mix, but it should be very close!
