This week in the members library, I am going to demonstrate a unique process for creating beautiful sculpted roses with natural variegated patterns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I&#8217;ve received many compliments about my clay rose designs&#8230; figured it is time for all of you to learn how to make them as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Cindy, your rose is stunning! If I ever get that good, you can bet I&#8217;ll be selling PC roses on Etsy &#8212; and I will give you credit for inspiration and tutoring! It&#8217;s always good to have something to aspire to! I&#8217;ve sure learned a ton of great stuff from your site. Now that I&#8217;m signed up, I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll learn even more.<\/span> <span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Sue<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Hi Cindy&#8230; Your Rose is just perfect&#8230; I love making roses but they are not as nice as yours&#8230; and one big problem I run into is burning them&#8230; of course they are supper thin petals most of the time thinner then pasta machine setting #6&#8230; can you help me with the baking time please? How long should they be baked? My biggest worry is if they are not baked at the right temp or right time they can crack? Please help me&#8230; Thanks :)<\/span> <span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Tannumoni<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Well Sue, Tannumoni and everyone else&#8230; you are in for a treat! The first episode of the two part sculpted rose mini-series, will be available in the members library on Friday June 12, 2009 (Vol-013-2). It will cover the process of making the variegated rose petal cane.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Part 2 will be posted next week on June 19th, 2009 (Vol-013-3). It will show you how to use the variegated rose petal cane to create your sculpted rose beads&#8230; as well as how to bake, sand and finish them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">What I love about this particular style of polymer clay bead is all the possibilities it possesses. Made small they work great as a dainty feminine accent bead. Perfect for little girls jewelry or mixed in with other types of beads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Created large, these rose beads make fabulous rose pendants, brooches and pins.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Sculpted rose flower beads are also perfect for making custom handmade wedding jewelry. You can custom design them to match the roses in the Bride&#8217;s bouquet. And they make wonderful keepsake gifts for the Bridesmaids, Maid of Honor, Mother of the Bride or Groom, and for the Flower Girls!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">If you want to see a preview video clip of the Part 1 segment, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><a href=\"#video\">click here<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">, or just scroll down a bit to the video player below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Information about how to get signed up at the members library, is posted further down on the page <em>(under the video player)<\/em>.
