Small Purple Rainbow Cat (b.19 August 2009)

I love what you can do with polymer clay! The marbled effect I achieved by simply mixing two different colours is great - and no two patterns are ever the same.

Here I used a deep purple and fuschia, and although this created a lovely subtle effect, I will experiment with more contrasting colours next time. He stands about 3cm tall with 3mm black onyx beads for eyes.

Experimenting with marbling colours reminded me of something I've been thinking of for a while - creating a patterned cat by covering a clay core with millefiori panels.
