There really is no difference between marbling polymer clay and mixing it, except that with marbling, you stop mixing well before the two colors become thoroughly blended.

My favorite marbling technique is to start with 2 polymer clay colors, each rolled into separate logs of about the same size. Spiral twist these logs around each other like strands of rope. Then on a flat work surface, roll them together as one. Bend this new single snake of clay in half, re-twist, and re-roll. Keep doing this as many times as it takes to get the marbled clay effect that you are happy with.

But like I said above, if you go too far, your marbled pattern will turn into a solid blend pretty quickly if you are not paying attention.

In This “Marbling Polymer Clay” Video… I demonstrate how to do the twist-roll-twist technique for marbling polymer clay. As well, I show how to use your pasta machine to monitor the fineness or coarseness of your marbling patterns.

  • Actually Katina it is OK to mix brands of polymer clay as long as they are all the oven bake variety. Mixing a hard clay with a soft one can make a very good mix too!

  • When you are marbling clay and you want to use it for a lentil bead or another type of bead that needs a lot of rolling, do you barely marble it to begin with or marble it till it almost look like you want it before you cut off pieces to make the individual beads?

    When marbling can you use different brands of Polymer clay together or does it always need to be the same brand?
