Faux stones are so much fun to make with polymer clay because there is just no end to the possibilities! So many different types and colors you can copy, including Faux Agates.<\/span><\/p>\n

So on Friday, June 18th at the Polymer Clay Library<\/a> (Vol-025-3), the member video tutorial will teach you how to make Faux Agate Coin Beads. They were discussed recently over at this Gallery<\/em> post: Faux Agate Polymer Clay Jewelry<\/a><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Very beautiful Cindy! Love it! Would also like to see you do a tutorial on how to make the agate stones. <\/span>~Maureen-G<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’d welcome a tute on the Faux Agate. I think the domed coin-shape of the beads is great, too. It would be awesome to learn some tips on how to make these easier. Thanks for everything you do, Cindy. You’re such an inspiration! <\/span>~Phaedrakat<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cindy, your agate is beautiful, the colors are so well coordinated. The colors remind me of the ocean, even though I am a North Dakota land dweller. Being an aquarius I am drawn to the ocean. This would make a great tute. Love to have you teach this one. <\/span>~Carolyn-K<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m definitely up for a faux agate tute – I’ve tried it before but couldn’t get the striations thin enough to look realistic. That said, it was a while ago, and I think I could probably make a better fist of it to now I’m more experienced. But I’m always on the lookout for more tips! <\/span> ~Silverleaf<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

These faux-agate beads are so pretty! :) I’d love a tutorial! <\/span>~Cindy-G<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Love love the agate bracelet. Would be awesome to learn how to make the beads. <\/span>~Samone<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cindy – that bracelet is simply beautiful – I love the color tones. I would love a tut on faux agate. <\/span>~Cheryl-H<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hi Cindy, these agates are awesome! Beautiful job!!! Please do a tutorial on them. I would love to learn how to make these faux stones. You are such a great polymer clay artist! When I grow up, I want to be Cindy!!!! <\/span>~Hobokenmary<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How stunning your agates are, Cindy. Thank you yes, I’d l-e-r-v-e to learn how to make them. <\/span>~Mary-U<\/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.
