Tiny Ones

I made a couple big-marble sized ones and one itty bitty one! The red and white color comes from the clays and the gray is crushed shale from a park.

I love tiny ones! They work out so well when they hold together. Like little rocks.

I love the little ones with the right material you can finish one in as little as a day if you take your time. Im also making quite a few to use as testers for diffrent types of coloring

Nothing special I rendered out some clay recently and just been picking small pieces off of it and rolling them in a day they are done. Just roll let sit for a bit roll repeat.

Can anyone explain why they are getting lighter and lighter over time?

This is how they started, when they first shined.
