Fun Challenge For You:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Linda Knight, a valued member of the community here, sent me a photo the other day with a request for information. She phrased her question in the form of a challenge, which got me to thinking. Why not turn this<\/span> into a fun and<\/span> interactive learning experience, where you guys get to come up with some ideas for Linda to try out. She agreed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s Linda’s Original Email:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/a>

OK – I am a NEWBIE for sure to polymer clay beading. I’ve been beading for a couple of years. My friends call me a technique junkie – but I love learning new things. I’m just trying to figure it all out – your tutorials are truly the best and so clear and easy to understand.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have a challenge for you – I was at a bead show last weekend when I visited friends in Texas. I bought several beads like the one pictured in the photo above – they called to me. Then I realized, I bet I could make matching beads to go with them with polymer clay. What do you think?<\/span><\/p>\n

They are about 1 and 1\/4″ square.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks again – love your tutorials!<\/span><\/p>\n

So what do you think guys? Let’s give Linda some creative feedback about which polymer clay techniques could work to create some beads that will compliment the one in the photo above.<\/span><\/p>\n

**<\/strong><\/span> Please note the bead pictured above was purchased by Linda and she is simply looking for input on how to create complimentary beads using polymer clay. It should go without saying that outright copying of exclusive designs is not going to win you too many friends in any artist community. Be unique. Be creative. Be respectful. The possibilities are truly\u00a0 limitless when it comes to developing your own personal style. ‘Nuf said :-)<\/em><\/span>
