\"Stamped<\/a>Video #229:<\/span> “Metal bezels — so cool, and such a great way to add metal to a clay design.” ~Phaedrakat<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

You probably have seen many types of stamped polymer clay pendants and charms in the beading magazines by now. They are very popular! Some with inspiring words, little poems or quotes, and others with graphic stamped images. No matter the style, they make awesome focal elements for your handcrafted jewelry designs… and they’re easy (and fun)<\/em> to make too!

Cindy, what a coincidence! I went to sleep last night thinking about stamping words and names into faux stone clay pendants with the alphabet stamps I received last week, and today you posted about that very thing! Thanks for being so thorough in spreading your knowledge.<\/span> ~Sue-W<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thank you, Cindy and Doug. I learn so much here! Cannot wait to get more bezels.<\/span> ~Jocelyn-C<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now my bezels will have that more artistic finished look to them. Thank you both once again. I love it here, I mean what’s not to love. Many Uuuugggs to all.<\/span> ~Peggy-B<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Being fairly new to polymer clay I knew nothing about bezels or incorporating the clay with them. I’m learning so many really useful and interesting things with these excellent tutorials.<\/span> ~Fran-Y<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So…<\/em> coming up tomorrow (Friday, November 11, 2011) <\/span>in the Vol-042-2 members video at the Polymer Clay Tutor Library<\/a>, I’m going to teach you how to make these funky stamped bezels quickly and easily, in whatever style suits you. Plus I’m going to give you a cool tip for making your own glossy colored glazes that can be used with this project and many others!<\/span>

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.
