Polymer Clay "Paper" Beads.

[drowningmermaid.livejournal.com]

I made 6 new bracelets!




Backstory: I LOVE paper beads. LOVE THEM. But they take me a ton of time and I always make a mess and then they're not waterproff. Then, I saw a portion of a book on polymer clay and got a great idea: Polymer clay "paper" beads!

I made a bunch of them and turned them into bracelets by alternating between them and glass or wood beads.

I love them:


Blue and Green


Black faux Hematite


Wooden


Purple


Red


Neutrals (and a single purple that slid in--oops)

I practised them by making myself a set in green:

Bracelet and Earrings


Necklace.


They make me happy.
