Topics Covered In This Video:
* How to make a Skinner Blend - A polymer clay color blend that gradually shifts from one color to another.
* You can make a 2 color Skinner Blend from white to black for example. Or you can have a multi-color blend that more like a rainbow.
* In a previous video I demonstrated the old school way of making a Graduated Color Blend, where you mix individual colors by hand in stepped proportions from one pure color to another pure color, with multiple hand mixed shades in between.

* A few years ago (20yrs? or so), a polymer clay artist by the name of Judith Skinner, developed a technique that made blending from one color to another, much faster and simpler.
* In this video I show you how to make a two color Skinner Blend. You will see the biggest effect if you use two colors of polymer clay that have high contract.
* I then demonstrate how to make an Off-Set Skinner Blend.
* In a future video I will show you how I developed an even faster way to make color blends... the Lietz Teardrop Method.
