Bead embroidery and polymer clay are the perfect match.
I oive doing bead embroidery is is one of my favorite things to do because I find it really relaxing. I thought I would do a couple of post to show how I combine polymer clay,seed bead,crystals and gemstones to make fun one of a kind pieces.
This pendant is an example of how making my own cabochon from polymer clay gives me a one of a kind piece.
In this post I’ll show how my “cabochons” look before I start my projects. I make my clay pieces about 1/4 inch thick and flat on the back. This makes them easy to get a good grip when I glue them down to the foundation material.
Below is an example of some I made yesterday. I am going to make a pendant and a pair of earrings for the ones in the 1st. photo.
I am going to list the one in the second photo in my shop http://GingerbellsToo.artfire.com for someone else to use in their projects. The teardrop shaped one is my favorite. I use that shape a lot in my designs.
in another post I will show how I start a project using my polymer pieces.
