With this tutorial, you can learn how to make an avocado 'caterpillar' sushi roll!
1. Roll out a rectangle of black polymer clay:
2. Trim it into shape with a polymer clay razor or Xacto knife.
3. Roll out a thick log of transparent clay. Transparent clay looks like and off-white color. I also found that mine glows in the dark!

| White clay is on top, transparent is on the bottom |
4. Flatten the white clay and wrap it around the transparent log. This is the beginning of your rice.
5. It should look like this:
6. Roll it out until it is extremely thin. You should have a substantial length. Make sure your clays are warm because if they are too rigid your string of clay will break when you roll it thinly!
7. Position it on the black rectangle, cutting it to length and repeating until it covers the rectangle:

| You should see a transparent circle surrounded by a white coating. |
8. Make your fillings! You can experiment here, but I made a shrimp tempura and vegetable filling. First, roll out 3 thin strings of orange clay and 2 thin strings of white. I did not have orange so I mixed yellow and a speck of red.
9. Stack them!
10. Roll them!
11. Make two similar strands of green. Stack all of them next to each other and place them on the sushi, black rectangle (seaweed) side up:
12. Roll up the sushi! Pick up one end of the rectangle and bring it over the filling.
13. You will have some gaps in your seaweed. Fill them in with more
'rice.'
14. Now, cut your sushi!
15. Make the avocado using the images below:
 |
| Add some more streaks of yellow, dark green, and light green than shown here. |
 | ||
| Crumple it into a ball |
 | |
| Flatten it and add some more streaks. Make sure your clay is warm (by kneading it in your hands), otherwise it will break! |
Cut it into small strips, and place them on top of your sushi:
