In today’s Spotlight Feature, it is my complete an utter pleasure to present the fabulous Rose Beads created by Tania Kathuria. You may remember already seeing<\/span> some of her work in the comment section of sculpted rose bead tutorial<\/a> post [Vol-013-3].<\/span><\/p>\n

Below, Tania shares more about her rose jewelry pieces and also reveals what inspired her to learn about making rose beads in the first place. Related links for this spotlight feature include: (1) Variegated Rose Beads<\/a>; (2) Sculpted Rose Beads<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

This Is What Tania Had To Say…<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Hello again Cindy… Thanks so much for creating this “Spotlight” for us. That is so kind of you. It feels a lot like school days “show and tell” to me.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have always been a great fan of nature and art. Roses are one of my favorite flowers. Recently I had gone shopping for my daughters 1st Birthday cake and ended up designing my own cake for her. In the process I had came a cross beautiful cakes decorated by flowers made with Gum paste. And I was totally in love with them and I thought to myself why not realistic looking roses made of polymer clay for jewelry! So that\u2019s how I started making roses.<\/span><\/p>\n

I follow most of same techniques of making gum paste roses. That’s how I really learned how to make roses. The hardest thing for me was to get rid of finger prints and I would like to share one technique I found really helpful … which is using a sponge to thin out the sides of the petals not only it does a wonderful job of thinning it also takes any finger print and you can pick either the smooth side or the sponge texture side on top of the rose.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have tried adding just different color clay on the center of the petal and smoothing it out for 2 colors but did not turn out that great. I love this new cane idea you showed us it has a much cleaner look to it. All though I think I need much more improvement on making the perfect cane.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am still learning from the GURU’s such as yourself, how to incorporate them to jewelry. So far I have done pendant & earrings with beads and bracelets.<\/span><\/p>\n

As far as I’m concerned Tania, I don’t think you need “..much more improvement on making the perfect cane.”<\/em> I love the way your colors step out towards edges! This gives a very modern artistic feel.<\/span><\/p>\n

If however, you would like to see a smoother transition between the colors, then the way to achieve that is to roll your teardrop blended strip much thinner before you make it into the cane. The thinner the strip the smoother the gradation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other than that, all I can say is Fabulous! The beads are gorgeous. The jewelry design is fantastic and the photography is very professional. You make a teacher proud!<\/span><\/p>\n

So go on everyone, let Tania know how you feel about her jewelry and her designs. Ask her any questions you may have as well. I am sure she would be happy to share her ideas with you.<\/span>
