Or to make beads out of polymer clay that <i>resemble</i> the ones in the necklace? Just to make sure I went to the right page, you're talking about the electroplated CCB or Copper-Coated Beads, right? This site doesn't deal with electroplating, but if you were talking about polymer clay, you could use a number of different techniques to add a metallic look to your beads. Copper Foils, Copper leaf, Mica powders, Metallic paints, glitters, etc., could be added to your (even copper) clay. There is an article about all of the ways to add metallic sparkle to your clay called <a href="http://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/mica-powder-craft-glitter-gold-leaf-polymer-clay-bling-supplies/6498/">Polymer Clay Bling Supplies</a>. It has some ideas on how to get a metallic look. Read the comments below the article, or use the search box at the top of the page to look for additional info. Good luck, let us know if you can't find the information you want. ~Kat @zoe: Are you wanting to make these copper beads? Or to make beads out of polymer clay that resemble the ones in the necklace?

Be gorgeous to see them bobbing in the wind and rain.

I haven't worked with Precious Metal Clay yet so I am not the best person to ask about that. I do know that the PMC has to be fired first since it fires at such a high temperature (around 1200 degrees I think). Then polymer clay is added then baked again at 265 - 275 degrees. Other than that I don't know too much about it. Has anyone else reading here worked with PMC that can help Rezvan? Hi Rezvan!

Your sculptures of the flowers are so life-like. I have lived in Texas for most of my life, so we are very fond of "The Yellow Rose of Texas." You asked about inspiration, where we all find it? Usually I personally just see something that interests me and decide to elaborate on it, or make various changes. Often, I do sketch out my designs in the beginning, but to decide how to string a necklace for instance . . . I do it in my mind. I close my eyes and visualize all the pieces; it is much faster, it is like playing chess, just move things around until you see what you want. But, I do like "flying by the seat of my pants" like you do as well. HA! Cindy, my goodness, you do it all girl. Your sculptures of the flowers are so life-like.
