\"TexturedVideo #266:<\/span> “Brilliant! You can never have too many textures!” ~Genevieve-C<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

For polymer clay beads to look great, they don’t have to be complicated to make. Sometimes all it takes is the right texture and color treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mixing and matching textured polymer beads with other materials like ceramics, gemstones, metals, glass and fibers, is a simple way to create Eclectic and Bohemian inspired jewelry. These earthy organic designs are very popular in today’s marketplace.<\/span><\/p>\n

I love creating textures on the surface of polymer clay — so this is perfect! Thank you.<\/span> ~Susan-B<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I agree about the earthy and organic look… I usually have to touch beads because I love the texture and the colors so these are fantastic! Keep it coming!<\/span> ~Lupe-M<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cindy, I have been working with polymer for 1-1\/2 years only. There is so much to learn, I am continually amazed at how much more there is for me to learn. It will never be dull and I will never be bored. I enjoy making beads because anything goes . . . the ideas, textures, color combinations, and the use of leftover scrap clay is unlimited. And, after 20 plus years of making jewelry and having to pay for beads, it is wonderful to create my own beads, and to be able to make them custom to fit exactly my needs. I no longer have to settle. “Ya-hodie.”<\/span> ~Debbie-M<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/em>So… coming up tomorrow (Friday, July 20, 2012) <\/span>in the Vol-050-3 members video at the Polymer Clay Tutor Library<\/a>, I will show you a variety of different textured bead shapes with a bunch of different finishes that you can add to your bag of polymer clay tricks. They’ll have you making your own Bohemian styled jewelry in no time!<\/span>
