MY EXPERIMENTS











Last week, for the second time in my life, I tried to make some beads with polymer clay.

I used Fimo soft and Fimo classic. I made a cane in blue and turquoise; a strange type (!) of round beads ,blue, white and turquoise; a blue cane with some glitter; some great orange balls; and blue round beads with white dots.

The holes of the blue cane are toooo large!

My favorite are blue round beads with white dots, and I will try to make the same beads with different colors.

Sometime ago I bought a book of Carol Blackburn: really beautiful!! There are wonderful beads made of polymer clay and great advice on how to work with polymer clay.

Oh, and I bought also a little oven....I don't like to "cook" polymer clay in the oven where I cook my cakes!! It wasn't expensive: I think that a Very little oven is enough to make my experiments!!

A little toaster oven is perfect for baking your beads in. It is a good idea to use an oven thermometer to check the temperature, since most ovens have incorrect settings. Looks like you are having fun with bead making. Keep it up, you're doing great!
