    I have seen skinner blend demo touching the two corners and claimed that’s the only method. So thank you for showing this technique.

    There are many ways to do a blend, the traditional Skinner Blend is two triangles and now you know, you don't have to have the corners touching! Hugs and Happy New Year! Hugs, D

    I had been using the teardrop method-with very poor results I might add-and was getting so discouraged! I knew you had some videos on Skinner blends and I'm sure this will help immeasurably! Now going to watch your other Skinner vidoes! Thank you Donna! 💖

    I think the teardrop method is interesting and probably works very well with soft clay but if a clay is stiff, it'd be hard to do. I don't know but it's what I imagine! Hugs, D

    Love these basic tutorials! I sure wish these had been available when I started working with polymer clay back in the early 2000's!!

    Excellent tip about making sure that you keep the edges together to keep the color true! Judith Skinner's blend (I feel like I have graduated a class ) is about all that I really know how to do! Like I can do this with my eyes closed! My trouble is when I roll it or fan fold it, I cannot "see" how to cut it to achieve a particular "look". But I WILL figure it out. With your help, of course.

    I made my first cane's today. I created 3 canes, a rose, a jellyroll & a second jelly roll with a gold strip laid onto the skinner blend. Its 3 am now & first ear rings done. I might have to sand them after bed . My clay packs are tiny & 28 gm (1 oz) largest packages down to 14 gm in others & just 7gm (1/4 oz) in small packages. I only managed 2 oz black & a 4oz pack of white Anyhow thanks & cheers. P.S my nails are split from the metal rings n things. Lol

    Much thanks Donna but I was wondering if you have ever tried the teardrop method and what you thought of that? Sometimes I'm just in a hurry and that method has given me successful Skinner blends.

    Hi Betsy, I don’t know about that method but assume you put teardrops side by side? If so, sure that would work!

    Your blend doesn't seem to be getting wider as you blend. Are you using something to limit the width?

    Hi Robie, the sheet did get wider. I do position one side against the wall next to the rollers so that restricts movement on one side. That helps!

    I did this but ended not having much white at the bottom what did I do wrong? Any advice

    This happens sometimes, I lose the white, too. You can actually add more and continue rolling! ❤️
