Stringing leaves together...

Sep 18, 2003 16 Replies

Hi there! Well, now that I'm back I'm wondering if anyone would mind helping me with a task? Can anyone tell me the best way to string some leaves together that I've made from Polymer clay.



I'd like them to look as if they're clustered together and kind of 'growing' on a vine. :) I've pierced them horizontally at the tops.



Hugs and thanks



I use Soft-Touch and run it back through the same beads, kind of like sewing, to make the "vine" look. I did it with flowers more than leaves but I think you will get the idea if you go look at these:

Love you all, no need to fall all over me. None of that was new stuff; It was just to make a point. Becki "In between the moon and you, the angels have a better view of the crumbling difference between wrong and right." -- Counting Crows

Bay Area Bead Extravaganza, in Oakland Nov 14-16. I know it's just wishful thinking, but it would be so cool to see you there.

Deirdre -- oh, to the contrary, that is exactly why i made a website in the first place. I was selling beads and wanted to show others what they could do with the similar beads I was selling. So, giving others my ideas was actually the whole point of my website -- for inspiration! Glad to hear it still works after all this time, LOL.
