If you make jewelry to sell, or if you like to keep your own fashion accessories on the cutting edge of current trends, then it’s important to pay attention to what the folks at Pantone have to say.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Pantone Group has been the world’s color authority for 45 years, and they just unveiled the Color of the Year for 2010<\/a>. Drum roll please… And the winner is<\/em>… Turquoise.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I love it, because it just so happens that I have the perfect video tutorial for Making Faux Turquoise Beads<\/a> from polymer clay!<\/span><\/p>\n

If you like getting your hands dirty to create realistic looking results, then you are going to love my approach to this very fun faux technique.<\/span><\/p>\n

You’ll end up with a cane that looks like the one in the photo above. It’s perfect for combining with other faux techniques, such as faux bone and faux ivory<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alternatively, you can make your faux turquoise into nugget style beads, or cut beads like the ones shown here:

I have several books that show some of the faux turquoise techniques, but seeing it on video is much more useful for me. <\/span><\/span>~Diana-P<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That was so much fun to watch! It amazes me how beautiful and realistic the beads are after sanding.<\/span><\/span> ~Maria-C<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Very cool! I have seen turquoise beads made in books, but it helps so very much to actually SEE it done! I will use this method when my inner child comes out and really wants to make mud pies! (or when I want to make turquoise-like jewelry!) :) I really like your videos. I really get absorbed into what you are saying and doing. I always wish the videos weren’t over yet when they are, because you are such a nice person to listen to, you are so delightful, and your videos are so easy to watch with so much good information within. Thanks for showing us this method. :)<\/span><\/span> ~Cindy-E<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, if you are interested in making polymer clay jewelry that is right on trend for 2010, consider learning how to make faux turquoise polymer clay beads<\/a>. Your customers (and your wardrobe) will thank you!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
