Second lot of polymer clay beads

you will peversely find the fuglies in the On Cloud 9 section.

This is my second batch of polymer clay beads. I'm kind of seeing what the various colours and bits do. I do like the powders and the foil and textures. I'm not very good at the overlay and squidge but what the heck.

This lot was made using black and white fimo classic (and I can understand why a pasta machine is a treasured piece of kit! - my hands are a bit sore)

Not sure which of these I like best - really the test for me will be if I can make them into a nice piece of jewellery.

I should have warned those of a sensitive nature to look away. Gosh that little lot took at least 5 hours to do to first glaze. I'll do a second coat tomorrow. I have a much better appreciation of what you polywhizzes do now!

Those are great!

LOL at your better appreciation of how much work polymer clay is! At least it is fun work though,

Thanks gals! I have a couple of these strung temporarily to see if they will actually make jewellery.

I've got a couple of empty mint tins and am thinking of covering them with polyclay.
