I (almost) hate to admit it, but those are mostly my early works. I have
a few beads from my first polyclay class that I took last year, and I'll
try and find time to take pics and post them. The beads are rather basic
and definitely first-timer, IMHO.

Don't get discouraged! Everyone's talents in pc lay in different areas.
My advice to you is to practice, practice, practice. Just create
projects from books and magazines and eventually you'll develope your
own style and the foundation in basic skills will serve you well!

im kinda too messy person for clay, i think. all work i find around is
just perfect, and my beads are always slightly different size, shape,
when i cut canes, i never get perfect circles... uh

you started just last year? then there is no hope for me, i started 3
years ago:/

it takes time and patience...most of my early things I dont have, or have
pictures other than slides. However, my very FIRST pieces are the Sleeping
Beauty dolls shown on my doll pages. The Lord Chamberlaine, who was 2nd and
the Lady in Waiting--both in purple and cream---were the first things I did
with pc, just the hands and heads. They are very crude in comparison to the
costuming...but I kept practicing. My first beads were really ugly, just red
and trans and fleshy blobs with holes. Not lovely!

Well, unless I use a bead roller, by beads are wonky, too. And I still
can't properly reduce a cane - it's all about practice, practice, practice!

Don't give up - maybe another form of polyclay art will come along and
be 'your' thing. As I mentioned, try online tutorials, etc. just to get
basic skills down pat, the rest will come.
