\"PolymerSpotlight:<\/span> “I love how my molded faces came out and the tube beads are neat.” ~Lisa-W<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

These “Spot”<\/em> features are for you guys to display your accomplishments, share stories of inspiration and even ask for assistance with challenges that you may be experiencing. The projects are based on techniques learned from articles here at the blog, as well as from tutorials at the Polymer Clay Video Library<\/a>. My hope is for these “Show and Tell”<\/em> features to help everyone get to know each other a bit better, thanks to this wonderfully artistic medium of polymer clay. And…<\/strong><\/em> by participating, you can win some beads<\/a> too!<\/a>

\"Polymer<\/td>\nHiya Cindy,<\/span><\/span>I made a purse charm <\/a>and I am forwarding a photo of it along with photos of the beads I used to make it. I’m totally nuts over the Tribal Beads<\/a>, the Faux Bone<\/a> Technique and Poppy Beads<\/a>. I also used what you called “Arizona\u00a0 Beads<\/a><\/em>” – the ones you showed us made with the cut off ends of the Tribal Cane…<\/span><\/span>I had so much fun making the Tribal Cane, I had to have my laptop next to me, playing, starting, and stopping the video – but I am extremely pleased with the results! You are one heck of a teacher Cindy, and I thank you for everything I learn from you!! And I learn a lot!!!<\/span><\/span>The Faux Bone was simple to make and fun to use. I love how my molded faces came out and the tube beads are neat. I antiqued them using brown acrylic craft paint and sealed them with PYM II<\/a>. I just made a double sized faux bone cane – and I actually used Premo. I’m not just a Kato girl anymore… *lol* I plan on making a bunch more tube beads in the next couple of days.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Poppy Beads were a bit of a challenge for me because I didn’t have the proper equipment. So what I used was the 5 in 1 Sculpey tool and the end of a click pen. The ball on the end of my Sculpey tool is very small, but happily it worked for making the outer shell of the bead. Then I rolled a small ball of black and used the small end of the pen to push in and attach the black clay to the inside of the bead. It’s almost as fun to figure out what you can use to work with your clay as it is to actually play with the clay! Occasionally it can be frustrating too…<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So thank you Cindy, for teaching me all these techniques and inspiring me so I could make my Purse Charm!!! I just love it..!!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now happily, I’m off to watch today’s video and learn something new and cool. *big grin* Your grateful student.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

P.S. <\/strong>Oh, I forgot to mention that I made my own copper headpins too and I used one on the Purse Charm on the Poppy Bead. Is there an easy way to get the black off the headpins<\/a>? I sanded lightly with some 1000 grit sandpaper, but I was wondering if there is a better way?<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
