Hello Group!

I am new to making polymer clay beads.
I can make some cool designs by twisting 2 or 3 rolls of color and cutting
little pieces off and rolling them into beads.
I was hoping that someone could maybe post a few links where I might be able
to see more techniques.
I don't want to keep making beads the same way over and over... it's going
to get boring, fast!

I'll be making beads for:
necklaces
bracelets
anklets
earrings

and so far, that's all I know.
I hope you all can help guide me with some new ideas and resources.

Thanks,
Heleena

Welcome to the wonderful and wacky world of polymer clay!

First, I suggest visiting http://www.polymerclaycentral.com/ where many talented and friendly people "live." Click on the "message board" link on the left; in order to post, you must be a forum member (Delphi).

For lots more of helpful information, Diane Black has gathered lots of information and posted it at her site, http://www.glassattic.com . No pictures, but discussions of how-to-do things, etc.

Between these two sites, you'll have plenty of eye candy and inspiration!


Best of luck,

beads for ideas and inspiration.
