Beads Experiment - Update

[witchscauldron]

So I found a tutorial, and started making some polymer clay lentil beads. They do take some practice, since the motion involved in making them is rather specific and controlled, but - it's worth it. They're swirly and fun.

Some of my experiments didn't end up pendant-worthy, so they're keychains. What's here are the ones I thought would make neat simple necklaces. All of these are 18" long, and if you're interested in buying one, email me - morgandria@gmail.com. I suggest getting yours before Friday, if you can - there's no guarantee any of these will come home with me after the Solstice.

Caramel - rich browns and golds. Its' dangles are mookaite, freshwater pearl, horn, and hessonite garnet.

Black and Red - the swirl is hard to see, but it's quite nice, with a tiny thin edging of silver on the black. Classic and understated. Indian glass dangles.

Bloody - a fantastic array of metallic grey, blood red, black, and pearly white. Dangles are silver, with garnet, onyx, and labradorite (which is not as green as the sun makes them look).

Fire Pentacle - first of two fire-themed beads. Fantastic colour!! Indian and pressed glass dangles. I think glass is really fire-y - molten silica, after all.

Fire Spiral - the second fire-themed bead. More glass dangles, and a silver spiral. (SOLD)

Frog -
White, silver, blue, and green shimmering clays. A nice frog dangle is accompanied by green aventurine and blue siberian quartz.

Star Faery - A sweet, delicate pendant, with a dancing faery. Blue and green freshwater pearls, opalite, and quartz. (SOLD)

Purple Faery - Bold, bright colours - the purple reminds me of snapdragons. This little faery is flying, and hangs with rose quartz, iolite, and amethyst dangles. (SOLD)

Thanks for looking. :)

Thank you. :) They are super easy to do once you get the motion down. Now I just have to work on getting the size consistent to make a set. There are some fabulous looking ones out there.

If I had a pasta maker I could make a skinner blend and work that into them...they are really neat.

I thought you might like the froggie. :) I bought him last year, and he was waiting for the right thing.
