So I had some large custom orders come in and had to hurry up and finish those before school started.  I'm soooooo sorry I'm not able to post a full tutorial like I said. :(

Hopefully these tips will come in handy, I'll answer any questions you may have!

Polymer Clay Pizza Tutorial

Materials you'll need:

Polymer clay in tan, light yellow, translucent, dark red, yellow, green, and black

Pastels in ochre

Liquid Sculpey

Paint in white, red and blue colors

Something of coarse texture (like a rock or coarse grit sandpaper)

An X-acto knife

Glaze

Herbs (optional)


How to make the dough:

Mix up the tan, light yellow, and translucent colors in the same proportions as for the apple pie dough shown here: fairchildart.deviantart.com/ar…

Roll it into a ball and flatten into a circle of about 7/8ths of an inch in diameter.  Dab your thumb down in a circular motion on the inside of the circle to create a raised "crust."

Texture around the crust lightly with your rock or sandpaper and then brush all around the edges with the ochre pastel.

How to make the sauce:

Stir up just a tiny bit of the blue paint with the red paint so it's not as bright of a red.  Mix the deep red paint with liquid sculpey and brush this onto your pizza dough.

Don't add the cheese yet!  We're going to make and bake the toppings first. :)

How to make the toppings:

For the peppers, I blended translucent clay with the pepper's color (either green or yellow) and then rolled out the clay before cutting square shapes from the flattened mixtures.

For the pepperoni, I rolled some spheres of the dark red clay, flattened them and then cut the " pepperoni slices" into quarters.

For the olives, I rolled some spheres of the black clay and then created holes in the center with a needle.

I also flattened some translucent clay and cut out some onion shapes to sprinkle on.

Bake both the toppings and dough + sauce (separately of course!  you want the toppings on the cheese not the sauce).

Now you can drizzle on some cheese!

I mixed a small amount of white paint with liquid sculpey so it wasn't too opaque, and brushed this onto the sauce.

Then go ahead and be generous with your baked toppings :)

Now bake your completed pizza!

Once it's out of the oven, you can glaze your cheese, sauce and toppings.  Garnish with a little bit of herbs and there's your homemade pizza pie :D

Bah I know it's not the same without pictures. :(  Unfortunately there won't be any updates until May because I have a really grueling curriculum, which leaves no time for art. X(

I'll still do my best to reply though! :)
