Sure it’s fun to make your own jewelry, but how much better to make even the beads! \u00a0In this video I’ll how you a simple technique for adding sparkle and color to translucent polymer clay.<\/p>\n

Although I’m quite pleased with how this project came out, it wasn’t my intent to make a green bracelet. The plan was to make beads in blues, purples and greens, but the blue turned more green and the purples were a weird muddy pink.<\/p>\n

However, the greens are rather nice, so all’s well that ends well. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

That’s one tricky thing about using translucent polymer clay: what you see before baking is not necessarily what you get afterwards. Since now I know the Premo Translucent<\/a>\"\"\u00a0clay has a bit of a yellowing effect, next time I’ll make it work for me and try using autumnal shades instead.<\/p>\n

Also, I need to get some Pardo Transparent Clay<\/a>\"\"\u00a0to experiment with, as it’s clarity\u00a0& transparency is highly regarded among other polymer clay artists.<\/p>\n
