I am glad you found us. You are right... there is tons of helpful polymer clay information here :-) As far as learning how to make flower petal beads, there are a few options for you, depending on your polymer clay experience. If you have never worked with polymer clay, or you have run into problems such as burnt pieces, breakage, poorly finished products or projects that just didn't turn out as professional as you would have liked, then the Basics Course is definitely the place to start. There have even been several people who were somewhat experienced clayers that got a lot of value from the course, so I do recommend it, if you are interested. The link by my name will take you to the info page on the course. And here is a link to where <a href="http://www.beadvideos.com/category/benefits/feedback/">feedback about the course</a> has been posted. Now if you already have a fair amount of experience with polymer clay, but not specifically beads, you will find most of the tutorials I film are easy enough to follow without taking the course. So it is totally up to you. In addition to the translucent flower petal bead tutorial on this page, I recently produced a new tutorial called Rose Petal Beads, that takes the flower petal beads to a whole new level. This video is in Vol-034-1 and if you are excited about doing the beads in the above video, I think you are really going to love this new version too. You can watch the preview clip here: <a href="http://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/rose-petal-beads-polymer-clay-tutorial-video/12689/#video">Rose Petal Beads</a> So hope that helps with your decision. If you need any help with your order or anything else, do ask. We are always happy to help! @Lisa Bolton: Hi Lisa, welcome to the site! I am glad you found us.

First off, let me say that your site looks like it contains tons of valuable information for people like me. Second off, I have absolutely no experience in bead making but I would like to get started by making the translucent polymer beads with crushed flower petals. I'm just not sure how purchasing your videos works. Do I need to purchase a "beginners" video, and any interim videos, before I can comprehend the video of flower petal beads?

Yes you are correct about using translucent clay. The flower petals are mixed into the translucent clay. Many people have asked me how to make beads using dried flowers so I did some video tutorials on just exactly how to do it. If you click the link by my name you can purchase Volume-003 in the Back Issues of my Polymer Clay Library which contains the Dried Flower Inclusion video you need plus 3 other valuable videos and 5 color mixing recipes. The flower inclusion video will give you everything that you need to make beautiful beads with your mom's roses. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask! Penny that is a good question!
