Video #116:<\/span> Cool Looking Beads that are VERY Simple to Make:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>These polymer clay beads have the unique appearance of being covered in small tears of watery colored art paper. I like to refer to them as money beads because customers keep wanting more of them… AND because you can crank out so many in such a short time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coming up this Friday (July 24) in the Members Library (Volume 014-04), is a brand new tutorial video that will show you how to make these beautiful little torn paper watercolor beads.<\/span><\/p>\n

By the way, another lesson that fits into this “money bead” category, is one that was presented back in Volume-011-1. Have a look at the following link if you like: Making Disc Beads for Fun and Profit<\/a>

One of the regulars here at the blog who always has a fun way of saying things, is Jaime. Last week she shared something that resonated with me a lot! It sums up how I absolutely love to be described when it comes to my teaching style. And her comment especially applies to this week’s tutorial…
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

I knew it would be nice and simple and look like it was really hard to do. That’s what I love about your techniques. They give such great results without being eyecrossing difficult. ~Jaime<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks so much Jaime for all that you say and do! Your comments along with EVERYONE elses’ are greatly appreciated.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Now although I did not personally come up with the watercolor, torn-paper bead making technique**<\/strong><\/span>, I am pleased to be able to teach it to you on video. The<\/span> full tutorial will be posted in the Polymer Clay Members Library on Friday, July 24rd, 2009 [Volume 014-4]. But to watch a sneak peak intro clip<\/a> right now if you like, scroll down the page a bit and enjoy.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

**ADDED NOTE: <\/strong><\/span>I just received an email from Maggie Maggio<\/a> indicating that she is the one who first came up with this torn clay watercolor technique back in 1998. I’m all about giving credit where credit is due and wanted to be sure to pass this note along to everyone. This technique has been taught and used by many artists over the years. Thank you Maggie for your ingenuity.<\/span><\/p>\n
