A while ago I bought several polymer clay bead sets from various artists and for these projects, I used deep purple rounds from Sherri Kellberg and colorful lentils made by Carola. Both have flower pattern, spring-theme colors and are unique in their own right. But wait! There’s more. Sherri told me that the beads have dichroic accents that make them look spakling like a rainbow. Can you see it?
Oh yes, it’s not the first time for me to use polymer clay beads in my designs and I think I should use them more often. The reasons? They have similar features like lampwork beads: variety of designs, shapes, colors and sizes. They can also be made glossy/shiny to resemble glass beads. But most importantly to note is that they’re lightweight. Having them many – say more than three - in a bracelet or necklace won’t hurt the arm or neck of the person who wears it. That sounds good to me, so why not trying to make more designs with them?
