Little Bit of Beading Too...

 A nice lady gifted me with a big bunch of seed beads, i started exploring Beading as well. Should i change the name of my blog ? Aww no let it be there as it is.. So far netted beading is my favorite .

1) Beading On Hoops ( Hoop Earrings ) :



2)  Beaded Egg Earrings :
I bought these sparkly Blue beads from Aliexpress as i found its good combo with silk fabric.




3) Beaded Cuff 

Its just a project i given up few years ago as I ran out of pearlish seed beads I got from Firemountain Gems & Beads. Started for a necklace late in 2017. The length is good enough for my fist . Then I decided to make it a cuff . Here it is...

Polymer clay Stud Earrings Tutorials

 Polymer Clay Studs :

Polymer clay is a versatile medium. Because of the wide variety of techniques and color ranges we can make endless designs. Studs are all time favourite. Most often people face a threat , why I called threat because it can lead to customer disatisfaction. Lot of complaints I see online like the stud post is falling off over time or during shipping . Sigh... 




Usually what we do is Super glue ( E6000 , Gorilla glue etc ) stud post on back of cured art piece of clay. It loosen up eventually. What's the solution ?
Either you should use 2 part Epoxy Resin . Cindy Lietz  was showing one old earrings that still holds up the stud .
Or you have to cover the metal post with another piece of clay and bake again. 




Watch these videos for instance :





In our second tutorial we are using the SWIRL cane slices.







Feel free to check my youtiube tutorial or previous blog post to build this basic cane.

Hope these videos help you fix the problems ..
