In all, it was a simple process to up my stash of polymer clay beads. I just grabbed some already-conditioned clay from the last time the nieces played with it. I simply rolled out a variety of beads and also used some mokume gane to cover scrap clay. The non-mokume gane beads were textured and coated with some PearlEx Powder. As well, I made a few flat pieces and stamped them. (I'll share pictures of those once I'm happy with their paint jobs.) I snapped pictures with my phone during the process and even used Instagram to capture the images that I used for Bead Table Wednesday on Flickr. {I'm sharing those pics plus a few additional here today}
A new pair of earrings wound up in the shop the other day.

That covers what needed to be posted on Wednesday.
For Thursday, let me just share some links.
~*Crafty Links*~
topic: clothes (which means sewing. . .and most of these are a reuse/recycle project too)
Since most of those projects were thrifty, I'm not going to share anything additional for Thrifty Thursday today. I want to get back into the craft room and get some more work done instead!
You gotta love that Pearl EX! It really is an amazing product isn't it? A few years ago I had hesitated before buying it because it seemed so expensive. But finally caved after wanting it so badly for my polymer clay beads. I should never have hesitated. I have used it a ton and you can hardly even tell that it has been used. Definitely worth the price!
ReplyDeleteCindy - You're so right! I was hesitant too, but have since bought both of the selections of it (with my 40% off coupon of course)
ReplyDeleteThere's no way of telling with mine either that it's been used. And I use it for all kinds of stuff, not just PC.
Well no surprise I love it too - it's crafting crack!!! Love those beads - great job! I have to get one of those bead holders. That bowl looks like candy : )
ReplyDeleteThanks Patty! I'm just enjoying staring at them right now.
