instructions

1. Leopard Print - 1. Roll out half a block of white clay to a thickness of 2mm, creating a long thin rectangle a little shorter than the diameter of the bangle. Form a quarter block of black into a sausage shape, 1cm in diameter and wrap with a thinly rolled out rectangle of gold-effect clay, trimming neatly at the join and re-rolling to remove any air bubbles. Create another cane of red and use a thin blade to cut 25 1mm thick slices from both.
   
   2. Roll the remaining black and gold stick down to a diameter of 5mm and cut more slices from this. Arrange the red circles on the white sheet of clay, leaving plenty of space around each. Lay black and gold in the two sizes around each red round to represent leopard spots. Gently roll over the surface of the clay to flatten the shapes into the base.
   
   3. Wrap the bangle with the sheet of patterned clay and trim neatly at the join. Smooth over the curve of the bracelet and gently ease the excess over the sides. Bake on a clean tile for 30 minutes at 110°C and allow to cool. Use a sharp knife to trim away the excess inside the bangle, rub down with fine sandpaper and varnish as before.

2. Make it yours - Use leftover clay slices to create simple pendant shapes, wrapping the top part over a cocktail stick before baking to create
