This one's colors are within the clay itself - funky tie-dye effect, eh?	Not only does this one have tranferred quotation and image, but I also painted the flowers along the side.
The graduated green color is not only within the clay, but it's been emphasized with some cool sparkly ink around the edges.	This one has a cool 3-D effect - you'd swear you could feel it!  But it's within the clay, using a ghost-image technique.
Transferred image edged with colorful paints, and graduated colors in the clay.	Swirled multi-hued metallic clay

If you were to run your finger across the heart on this cardholder, you'd find a smooth surface!  The heart design looks 3-D, but it is within the clay.	I had fun with this one - the Batik pattern was a happy accident!
This pattern is made with paper-thin layers of different color clays, pressed with a stamp, and the raised portions are sliced off.  The exposed colors are fascinating.	Another batik pattern - this one's pattern is stamped butterflies, beetles, and dragonflies over a blue background.  The "spot" effect is one of those serendipedous happenings!
The sparkling parts of this design is glitter layered beneath translucent clay.	Very cool crackled foil effects!
OH! Here I got to combine my love of herbs with the clay!  The Sweet Cicely is a licorice-flavored herb that grows in my garden, and I used actual leaves to make a special "stamp".	Funky pattern - kind of a weirdly colored snakeskin - but, yep, it's clay.
