This week we are talking about the Amaco bead rollers. Have you ever wanted to get your beads to be all the same size and shape? Well then these bead rollers will make your day. They make it so easy to to get uniform and perfectly shaped beads. They come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes there are even ones that have multiple sizes of the bead on one roller, which are perfect for making graduated sizes. Gotta love that!  They are light weight and you could even travel with these, they would give you something to do on a trip. I could totally see myself taking these with me to get ahead on my bead making.Make sure to come back Friday to hear us share ideas and discuss the bead rollers.

Polymer Clay TV This Friday Creating Pocket Mirrors

This Friday we have a new episode of Polymer Clay TV and we will be showing you some pocket mirrors. These are easy to make and you can use a variety of techniques to create them. These also make great gifts too. I used Glimmer Mists on mine and I also silkscreened over the Glimmer Mist and then sprayed the Glimmer Mist on top of the silkscreen. It came out really cool, I just loved the effect. Try experimenting with the different techniques, why not use gold or silver leaf or pigment powders or ink, the sky is the limit.

Kira and I had a meeting yesterday and we talked for hours, so whats new.lol We hashed out some plans for some new and exciting things that will be coming soon. We are planning some more interviews for the show as well. We have an upcoming interview with an artist who sands and buffs all of their beads and pendants and she will be sharing some tips of hers and sharing how to get started with it. Kira and I do not sand normally so Jeanette will offer some good insight into this technique, so make sure to come back next Friday for that on Polymer Clay Podcast.

Is there an artist that you would like us to interview? Let us know we are planning our future shows and we are open to anything. We will have some interviews coming up with the artists who will be teaching at the Orlando Clay Fandango in March so that should be a lot of fun too. Check back often to see what we have in store.

Are you teaching any upcoming polymer clay classes, do you have a retreat planned, let us know and we will be sure to share it with our audience. Hope everyone has a creative week!
