I made beads

Sep 17, 2004 48 Replies

So, Sooz, this isnt quite what you had in mind I'm sure, but there are new beads in my clay folder. Someone on the clay group asked for the tutorial on Desiree's site and I had to try them. It took some playing around till I got the knack of making them swirl, and the shape just comes naturally.

Photo isnt great, neither are the beads, but I made them. whoohoooo! Diana *Its really Candaces fault. I dont know why tho... or maybe its Barbara's for providing the link... Oh heck.. you may all share in the blame. :-)


Cool beads Diana! I tried that tutorial too, it's fun to see how the colors will swirl.

I must agree with you there! I have about ten little blocks of clay waiting to become beads. (I have a big blob of "mud" too)

Mud is good stuff. Sometimes my *waste* clay is prettier than what I try to make. I love that. Diana

Very Pretty Diana. And I am a paragon of virtue, therefore it cannot be my fault:)

The first statement is true.. the other is questionable. :-) bwuahahahahha Diana, the very pretty

Thank you. I even like them this time! LOL I strung them and found I had made a bracelet I wouldnt mind wearing. Go figure! Diana

Wow.. thank you! Diana, walking tall tonight :-)

be forewarned, there are tutorials for a number of very lovely items on this site. Diana

you really don't want to see that page so don't say you haven't been warned !! Speaking from experience after last night you really don't want to see the braided rainbow cane page

Di will do ANYTHING to get other people hooked even if it means trying out a few things herself to show of pics. cas

Didn't you know that already?

That is such a cool technique - can't wait to try it.

Thank you. :-) They are addictive. Ive made a bunch of them now, some with deliberate designs. Pics later. Diana, doing her part to push clay
