Posted in 2015 Polymer Clay Challenge, My work
This week for my polymer clay challenge I have been making beads. I made some spacer beads in different shapes.
Back in week 1, I made a Stroppel style cane using the leftover gradient mix from my colour block pendant. This week, I made a set of round beads using the cane.
And I also made a set of tile beads to go with the toggle I made last week.

Second iteration Stroppel cane (slices of Stroppel cane layered in alternate directions)
My next thought was “how can I use this in a Natasha bead?”
So I did second iteration i.e. making a Stroppel cane from slices of Stroppel cane layered in alternate directions to make cubes with a centre that would be interesting on all axes. (Please comment if this isn’t clear and I will try to explain better). I then proceeded with the steps to make a round Natasha bead.
