Mushroom Beads and Mushroom Jewelry are very popular these days. Just type those keywords into the search box at Etsy, and you will find over 10,000 listings of mushroom related jewelry items. So on Friday, June 4th at the Polymer Clay Library<\/a> (Vol-025-1), the member video tutorial will teach you how to make this funky looking mushroom bead shape<\/a> … and how to add some sculpted design elements as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

I love the mushroom it’s really adorable, I’m sure my nieces would be thrilled too. Yes from me if this becomes a lesson. Lots of great info too, Thanks! <\/span><\/span> ~DJ<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This baby mushroom is adorable! Colorful, beautifully sculpted and detailed, a very cute little ‘shroom. My niece would LOVE this necklace. I’m voting “yes” on this little ‘shroom. It’s very cute, and there are lots of people who are into the whimsical, fairy jewelry. It’s not my style, necessarily — it’s a bit too cute for jewelry that I’d wear. But I could use it on a key chain, or as part of a purse charm, etc. Not to mention, selling, gift-giving, etc. The shape is very unique, and I imagine Cindy has a quick and painless way to teach us how to make it. And the sculptural elements – extremely useful info to have in my bag of tricks. Being able to embellish with flowers, little tendrils, etc. is always handy! And what technique was used for the stripes on the ‘shroom? All-in-all, this seems like a very good tut to improve skills! <\/span><\/span> ~Kat<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Your mushroom is so very very cute, the colors and super shine. And the embellishments make this little gem of a guy’s possibilities endless. <\/span><\/span> ~Peggy-B<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cindy, you’ve done it again.\u00a0 If you had asked us if we wanted to learn how to make a mushroom without showing it to us, I would have had a hard time getting enthused…but this mushroom is just SO cute! I say YES, for all the same reasons that Kat wrote about. <\/span><\/span> ~Linda-K<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think the mushroom bead is so cool and I to would love to learn how to make it. <\/span>~Ritzs<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The mushroom pendant is very cute. I would love to learn how to make it, and so would my 9 year old daughter. You should see some of the things she has made with clay. She loves to watch your videos with me. We sit at the computer and each hold an ear bud to learn our new lesson. She has quite the knack for it. She does beading and string too. Its fun to have her fresh look on things! <\/span>~Tiffany-M<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I like the mushroom, it’s cute and should it come up, would like to see how it’s made. <\/span>~Ken-H<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I love this little mushroom. It reminds me of the early seventies when my big sister and I made candles in our basement. We had a mushroom candle mold that looked a lot like this little guy. <\/span>~Jill-V<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Please Note:<\/strong><\/span> A general prerequisite for all of my weekly tutorials is that you have a good understanding of the polymer clay basics, including: conditioning clay, using a pasta machine, clay blade and other simple tools, making Skinner Blends or Teardrop Blends, baking clay, as well as sanding and finishing. If you need help in these areas, my Polymer Clay Beginners Course<\/a> will get you up to speed quickly. There is also plenty of free information on this blog.
