I didn’t like this much, but kept adding to it. Suddenly, I liked it. Guess that means it’s done.

Nesting One Band
This bracelet has a single band nestled in yellow and purple clusters.
You have to really look close to see the single nested band.
Another Skinner Blend
Carol Blackburn’s book, “Making Polymer Clay Beads” showed how to make a Skinner blend. I realized that it was different from the one I posted on July 18, as it shows the starting colors much better in the final product.
I like Carol’s Skinner blend much better.
Mixing Polymer Clay
These are all various colors mixed with red,
yellow,
and blue.
Basics
My mom gave me a book titled “Making Polymer Clay Beads”, by Carol Blackburn. This is a great book! I decided to go back to basics by making a lot of the items in this book. I don’t have the supplies or tools to make everything, but I will make what I can.
Logs, snakes, and strings.
A sheet.
These are very basic shapes and are building blocks for many different beads.
Bands as Beads
This bracelet uses rubber bands as beads.
Round and Round
On this one, the strand goes around and around the central spokes of the squares.
Red and orange are so difficult to get good pictures of.
Can’t Get Away From RAW
This is the start of another series. Basic RAW stitch, with a strand woven in between the squares.
Closeup.
Clusters
This stitch is called Alternate Double Clusters.
And this one is called Large Clusters.
Shaped Peyote Beads, My Own Shape
For the fourth bead in Nancy Cain’s Beaded Bead class, I chose my own shape. I wanted one with a curve, with corners, both outer and inner, and straight lines. I came up with this shape.
Here is another angle.
