\"Beaded“In Nepal… the kids, nuns and monks all loved them.” ~Betsy-B<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A while back I talked about selling my Pirate Bead Lanyard<\/a> at the YMCA just by wearing it to hold my pass card. Well that sale led to several more since then. And now one of the Y staffers is taking 5 at a time so she can re-sell them for me.<\/span><\/p>\n

Phew! I might have to teach my daughter Willow to start making them, since I barely have enough time anymore. I’ve had to put them together while watching TV in the evening, just to keep up. Which also means I haven’t been working out at the YMCA that much lately. Can we say Muffin Top?!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"BeadedAny ways… the picture shows one of my more popular lanyard deigns. It is made with a Polymer Clay Heart Bead<\/a> like the ones I teach in the Vol-020-2 Library Video Tutorial. And it is covered with Gerbera Flower Cane<\/a> slices form Video-015-4. Isn’t it pretty? Perfect for hanging your YMCA ID card on.<\/span><\/p>\n

Willow and I have been checking out the workout wear that is most popular in the gym to see which colored lanyards would compliment them best. Looks like I’m going to have to make some Hot Pink, Black, Lime Green, Purple and Red focal beads (not all on the same lanyard of course), since they seem to be the most popular colors these days.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

And now here is another tale of how 13 polymer clay beaded lanyards brought smiles to the faces of some monks and nuns caring for children over in India…<\/span><\/p>\n

I found your web site when I started making polymer clay canes, to put the slices on a flat piece draped over an upside down bowl to make candle holders. Now you’ve gotten me interested in making beads. I made a beautiful badge lanyard for work. And when my best friend just spent 2 weeks in Nepal with Acupuncturists Without Borders<\/em>. She took 13 necklaces I’d made from my beads. The kids, nuns and monks all loved them – it’s so much fun creating new things. It’s interesting how different every cane is, using the same technique. I’d love to see what other people are doing with your new ideas, and to share what I come up with. <\/span>~Betsy-B<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n
