Mixing Polymer Clay Colors - How To Instructions
Tip #19: Guidance on How To Mix Polymer Clay Colors:
Make sure to work with the colors you love. There is an infinite number of color mixing possibilities, so there's no reason to be playing around with ones that you're not absolutely crazy about.
Also, when you make your color sample chips or sample "pills" as I like to do, be sure to sand, buff and clear coat them like you would any other bead. This will give you a better idea of how the various color shades and blends will look on your finished jewelry pieces and projects.

I love the idea of the color "pills", especially since I'm in the medical profession!!
I also think the little "pills" would make cool beads themselves and could be used in fun projects.
Has anyone out there made anything with the "pills"?
