The dragon was the first one I made, from a picture of a clay dragon figurine that I found online, drew/traced, then traced around with clay...then got too complicated >_<
This method in this tutorial is used in the stars and heart sun catchers

Thinly roll out the clay you want for your image, and cut out the pieces

Roll out your background color to the same thickness, and trace out where you want your images

Take out the cut out pieces in your background color, and replace them with your images
