Tools needed:
-work surface
-Pasta Machine
-Stylus/Needle point Tool
-About half a block of Dark Brown, Medium Brown, Gold or Cooper (I typically use Premo but sometimes it's just whatever I have)
-Tissue Blade
-Optional: Pearlx or Mica Powder, Acrylic Paint for antiquing, texture sheet or stamp with spray bottle for small amount of water.
-Dark Scrap Clay
I typically used a dark brown, medium brown and either gold or cooper (i like cooper better I have found, but gold is pictured).
I make 3 strips:
-Dark Brown: Thickest Setting on pasta machine
-Medium Brown: 2nd to 3rd thickest setting on pasta machine
-Gold/Cooper: 3rd to 4th thickest setting on pasta machine
It really is personal preferrance on how thick you like your grains or perhaps how large the wood panels will be. These strips are about 2 inches wide and about 7 inches long
I like my strips to be about the same length and the width to be about the same, but I dont trim off my rough edges because it helps with the variation and grain effect. I stack them on top of each other: Dark brown on bottom, medium brown in middle, gold/cooper on top.







Here is my finished product. I covered a tin to hold all my molds and cutters I typically use when making fairy doors. This way i know what tin to grab when I am working on fairy projects. I used various colors of pearlx powder on the cobble stone. Then some brown acrylic paint watered down for antique.
