Easy way to imitate Carved ivory in any size and shape :)
1. Take a nut-size piece of light colour polymer clay. And "knead" well till warm and soft
2. Roll it to 3-4 mm thickness
3. "Carve" the picture you want by using "etch n pearl" tool (you can use any thin but not sharp stick, even ball pen will be fine). Then "scratch" the entire surface with any sharp stick, needle, toothbrush etc. to make it look shabby. Cut edges to shape you want.
3. Mix brown, orange and yellow dry pastels and cover all surface evenly. Bake in pre-heated to 110°C for 10' and let it cool down (about 15')
4. Sand with very fine sandpaper.
5. Varnish
