Making beads to support a cause… Kimberlee Johnson graciously shares her plum-colored, polymer clay recipe ideas:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n In a previous post Kimberlee said…<\/span><\/i> “I have to share with you that this article gave me the<\/span> confidence to really commit to experimenting with mixing colors. I’m using your little pill sample technique and I’m so happy with the results! Plus my experimentation has led me to find a beautiful shade of purple that is just perfect for making beads to support my local university team. Fancy that! Plus it’s just a pretty purple! Thanks for instilling confidence and providing some really great recipes. I think the best part about these recipes is the way the translucent works to enhance the quality of the color. Kinda makes it POP!”\u00a0 [Here’s a link to the original article that got Kimberlee so inspired: Mixing Polymer Clay Colors<\/a>]. My response back to Kimberlee was… <\/span><\/i>“You are very welcome Kimberlee! I am so proud that you are mixing your own colors, trying new techniques and having the confidence to start selling your things on Etsy and for fundraisers! That is fantastic! Hey if you wrote down the recipe for that pretty purple you’re talking about, why don’t you send it to me and I’ll post it! I’ll give you full credit of course!”<\/span><\/p>\n And here’s the result… Kimberlee’s Pretty Purple, Deep Plum Pearl:<\/span><\/b> Plum Pearl:<\/span><\/b> Now I have to tell you… I mixed up these Plum colors and they are GORGEOUS! I didn’t have the Sculpey Turquoise so I substituted it for Premo Turquoise which is exactly the same color. Also made up some Skinner Blends going from the Deep Plum to Pearl… Lovely!<\/span><\/p>\n This purple also makes a wonderful grape color, perfect for grape canes. They sparkle and glisten like a real cluster of grapes!<\/span><\/p>\n So guys if you want to make your own purple beads and jewelry, give Kimberlee’s Premo \/ Sculpey color mix a try! And if anyone else has any other color recipes to share, just send them to me and I’ll post in another article with your name on it (photos are always nice to include as well). <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Making beads to support a cause… Kimberlee Johnson graciously shares her plum-colored, polymer clay recipe ideas: In a previous post Kimberlee said… “I… 7<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25,73,28],"tags":[2681,2678,2647,2679,2740,469],"class_list":["post-183","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-color-recipes","category-feature-guests","category-inspiration","tag-cane-making","tag-color-mixing-plus1-method-saturation","tag-marketing-selling","tag-patterns-sheets-color-gradients-mokume-gane","tag-polymer-clay-tools-supplies-organization","tag-translucent"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=183"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=183"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=183"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=183"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
