I hope all of the information did not scare you away from Polymer Clay. It is an amazing medium that you need very few tools to be able to use! I think that personalized beads for row counters would be wonderful! There are many ways to put the names on the beads, too; you could etch them into raw clay and bake them, or use a sharp tool to etch the baked clay. Or you could stamp them with letter stamps using ink, paint, etc. You could even just paint the names on, or write them with special pens or markers. Cindy has a couple articles involving putting words/names on clay. Here's one about <a href="http://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/dog-tags-jewelry-for-boys-personalized-names-faux-stone/4041/">Dog Tags Jewelry</a> which has names stamped with ink into polymer clay Faux Stones. Cindy also has a tutorial for <a href="http://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/polymer-clay-tutorial-urban-style-graffiti-art-beads-video/4961/">Graffiti Beads</a>. Be sure to follow the 2 links in the article, or watch the preview video to see the cool examples of these graffiti beads. Good luck with your polymer clay & beading journeys. It's so nice to talk with someone in Sweden (and a Dutch woman at that!) I've never been to Sweden, but I have been to Amsterdam a few times. I wish I could have seen more of the country, but time was always limited. (I was in the military.) Please leave a comment if you need any help! @Annuska: Hi, why did you say you are not sure, what makes you say that? I hope all of the information did not scare you away from Polymer Clay.

There is not much to buy here for bead making so I have to search the internet for that. I will look into the video's to get improved!! Thank you so much for your reaction. We give workshop in Sweden for spinning and dying wool. So I thought of making row counters for the contestants with their name on it. I wanted to make beads and write the letters on it to form their names. Now I am not so sure. Greetings, Annuska Hi Cindy and Phaedrakat,

I have not seen these new versions in my local stores (in Riverside, CA, USA.) I did see them online somewhere, though. They come with piercing pins that fit their bead rack. There's a little hole in the sides of the roller at one end, so that you can insert the pin into your perfectly rolled bead without touching & getting fingerprints on your bead. It looks like a nice improvement; I would purchase one if I found it locally (hate to pay S&H if I don't need to...:-) As far as making holes, have you taken any of Cindy's video courses? She shows lots of ways to make all aspects of working with polymer clay much easier. When making holes, one thing that can help is to let your bead rest for a bit before piercing it. As it cools, it firms up a bit, and doesn't distort so much when you make your hole. The video preview above is part of Cindy's beginners course (aka <a href="http://www.beadsandbeading.com/crse/01-more.html">Polymer Clay Basics Course</a>.) This is a huge help if you are just getting started, or want to learn ways to avoid the mistakes so you can make great beads. Her videos are excellent: Cindy has the Fundamentals/Basics Course (39 videos!), a newsletter that comes with 3 free videos & free weekly color recipes, and a Member Video Library membership, that works out to only $3.32 per month. The links for all 3 are at the top of the page. Good luck with your beads, & happy claying! @Annuska Joosten: Hi Annuska (cool name, where are you from?)
