Mixing Clay

I could not find a place to leave a comment about mixing clay colors. I wanted to let you know about a hint I saw on line that may be slightly more accurate (notice I said "may"....).

This hint not only works for measuring amounts to use for mixing, but also for making matching pieces more accurately identical sizes.

The gentleman used a sheet of graph paper with the smaller squares on it. He placed the sheet of clay onto a sheet of glass sitting on top of the graph paper. He used the markings on the graph paper to measure and keep track of his color mixes as well as his sizes.
