\"Rosary <\/span>“It’s a great new idea for me. I’ve heard about adding different things to clay but never flowers. Thank you from Russia.” ~Svetlana-R<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Just because you’ve always done a technique a certain way, doesn’t mean you can’t be looking for alternate approaches.\u00a0 The reason I say this is because I’ve been playing around with some new ideas for making rosary and flower petal beads. And I would like to share them with you today.

The way I normally make them, is to mix the dried flower petals into translucent clay. It’s called an inclusion and the technique does work quite well.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve been concentrating on my flower petal beads and experimenting with Premo, Fimo and Kato translucent clays. Each one is unique and they each seem to react differently with different flowers. <\/span>~Marsha-N<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I have used all sorts of inclusions in the clay but never thought of using the scrunched up petals. Very nice effect! I am going to try it next time I am working with plain translucent. Thanks!<\/span> ~Pat-F<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here are some links to where I have posted about how to use translucent polymer clay for doing flower petal inclusions:
