These are a few bookmarkers I made using clay to fill in the cuts. Bobby

Did you use 1/16th material or thinner?

They look great!  Do they look the same on the opposite side?

They really do look nice.  Which brand of clay did you use?

Thank guys. I used 1/8' baltic birch ply because i didn't have anything thinner. The front and back do look the same.Sometimes the clay is a little loose after sanding so I add a little clear glue after I finish it. can't see it so it should be fine.I used a different brand this time and it was a lot softer.Then only drawback is you bake it at 230 for a half hour instead of 300 for ten minutes. I will find the brand and post it later tomorrow.Thanks again. Bobby

Ok the brand of clay I used is called  "FIMO". I used another brand called "KATO POLYCLAY" before but it was harder. I like the FIMO much better.Hope you all give it a try. Bobby
