For this project, polymer clay was combined to imitate wood. It was rolled out into a sheet and cut into squares. Similarly, the malachite was formed from clay and cut into thin pieces and then into squares. I selected the best of the squares and strategically placed them on the bear form. I made a wedge-shaped tool to produce the bevels of each square.
