@Lorri Tinges: Sorry you're having trouble finding similar word stamps. The ones I have were actually from a dollar store. They just had there store name on the package, which is Dollarama. I don't know if you will be able to find those exact ones, but I just did a search on Google for 'Word Stamps' and found many different stamps available that would work. I also found a stamp set on eBay that contained 84 common words with a magnetic base for making stamped poetry. I know it can be frustrating to not be able to get the exact supplies sometimes. But the great thing about polymer clay is that it is so adaptable that you can usually make something work, if you are flexible and exercise some creative license with the materials. Good luck. I hope you find something suitable!

I am wondering what company the word stamp sets you use on the graffiti bead video are sold from. I would really like to purchase some of these as I have been unable to find single word stamps in my area. I have tried searching on the internet to no avail. I am hoping you will share this information so that I can make some of these beads. I have almost all of your videos and want to purchase the items used in the videos to make all of the awesome beads. It stinks to live in a small town with no access to the best craft products. Thanks for your time on this issue! I will anxiously wait for your answer. Keep creating masterpieces!

Nancy, I had a lot of problems mastering the slicing too. Found for me, using one of those long flex tissue blades, and bending it into a U shape, then cutting with just the inner U portion helped give me the control I needed. Think I learned this from watching Donna Kato work on the old Carol DuVal show, since she is one that has her own type of “flex” blade on her site. Hope this helps.

Very Very cool, Cindy!!!

I really love this one! I’ve been spending most of my free time oil painting lately, but this technique makes my clay call out to me quite loudly! I’m going to try this soon!

Thanks for sharing as always :)

Hugs to you!
Cindy E.

Fantastic idea Jocelyn! That would be an excellent way to really put a deeper meaning into the beads!

What a fun project! Could also see using these beads with sharp defined logos or “sayings” that support charitable causes like breast cancer, and lung and heart disease.

With a stamp custom made for the purpose, you could also use these to make excellent beads/pendants for events, or even to give as beads “In Memoriam” with a loved ones initials or name and date, at a service.
