If you need a refresher course, here's How to do a Skinner Blend from Polymer Clay Central
IF YOU'VE NEVER MADE A SKINNER BLEND:
Not to worry! It's easy! You have 2 options.
1) Take a look in a polymer-cafe book or at one of the following webpages and give it a go:

2) Bring your two colors, and your humble president I or some other helpful guild member will teach you how. If you have a PASTA MACHINE, you'll need it. It should be part of your basic tool kit.
