#4 Dholki | Bicone Beads


Shaping Beads
*******************


I would like to show you , how to hand sculpt Dholki ( drum )beads using Premo polymer clay. You can use it for making necklaces, bracelets or dangles. The process is really simple.
Dholki is a kind of drum with both ends are smaller in diameter. The word Dholki originated from Marathi language.
The jewelry with Dholki beads are high in trend now in India.
Click the Blue link to Make a veneer with Clay and Foil  as shown.


Once the beads are being completed, bake them 45 minutes (Premo clay) at 275 degree farenhiet. Cool them in oven itself. Let's move to making a necklace a kinda Gothic or Victorian theme.
Follow the next video. We need seed beads of size 11\0 and 6\0 and some 3mm bicones. 



Happy Crafting.

2017 Polymer Clay Challenge : February

2017 polymerclay challenge is an initiative by Katie Oskin of Kater's Acres who runs it for few years now in facebook as a group. Enthusiatics join the challenge makes a commitment to indulge with poly clay weekly basis. The participants can select their own perspective for creating . No more rules ! 

For the month February I made earrings and bracelets on weekly basis. By the end of month we moved to another place.


Week 5/52

I tried an Afghan+ Indian style in a pair of earrings using premo accents rose gold glitter and alcohol ink. A crescent shape cut down from a textured sheet of clay and pigmented with alcohol ink in red color. Wiped off excess ink. Cured in a convection oven for 45 minutes and when cooled down fixed earring attachments.
isn't it lovely?

Week 6\52

This bracelet is actually three tube beads strung on a stretch cord. These vibrant colors are from Souffle line of products from Polyform company. To make these vibrant bracelet I made a stack of striped cane and a veneer of Bargello too from the same cane. One bead is bargello and others are striped.


Week 7 / 52


Again similar kind of bracelet with matching earrings from Sculpey Souffle colors and the simplest petal cane. It reminded me a caterpillar. I am in love with triangular bracelets by now.

Week 8/52

I was almost busy with shifting home . Still i found time to make one pair of earrings from left over canes of previous week. Just made a simplest pyramid shaped dangles with some adorns . That's a cool design.

So that was all for the month February. I know I am too late with my blog entries. Try to catch up gradually. But so far i am uptodate with ther challenge in facebook group though some time times I fall short.


See you guys soon ..
