It’s nearly a month late, but I have finally been able to list all the orange polymer clay components I made in my Etsy shop.
I have been slightly distracted by our new baby who is over 200 years old and made of stone. We *finally* completed the purchase of our new house just before the end of orange. 😉

This week I made orange beads again. I made a set of orange pinstripe tetrahedrons. I think of them as “humbugs”.

I drilled them through the centre of the straight edges rather than from the base through the apex. They were fiendishly difficult to photograph.

I also made another set of my retro beads in a different colour combination.

Without planning it I found I had used each colour only once for the different parts of the bead. I wonder if I can resist the final colour combination in the sequence?
