These are two of the barrettes that I have made using the technique that I described in the previous post. This technique is credited to Lindly Haunani, who is one of the originators for using it with polymer clay.
Both barrettes are made from the same block of mokume gane. I use translucent clay with gold leafing. The slices where placed on different colored backgrounds. Instead of sanding and buffing, I used a glossy sealer to protect the leaf from discoloring.
This barrette is backed with yellow clay.
This one has a dark green backing.
