Art Bead Versatility and Special Orders
Circle Buttons Clay is a very versatile material, be it earth clay or polymer clay. I use a low fire white earth clay. Whether you were aware of the versatility of clay or not, I wanted to show you the possibilities using one design. Have it your way…No holes (cab), 1 hole, 2 holes (one on each side), 2 holes (as a button), 4 holes (as a button), cutout, cutout with 2 holes. Cabochons, connectors, buttons, pendants or clasps. As you can see there are so many possibilities with one design and mold. Other options not shown, are imbedding Kanthal (high fire) wire into the clay. The clay is fired with the wires in place. Imagine the button on the bottom right with 2 wire loops in place of the two holes. If 2 aren’t enough add one or two more. Need it different way? Just ask. As your mom told you, it doesn’t hurt to ask. In other words, have it your way. You need a piece of your design puzzle to fit your vision. Special orders don’t upset us

On the 10th Day of Christmas: Bead Bravely Ornament
Difficulty: Easy/Beginner This is an easy, personalized, stamping project for the beginner. You’ll stamp the spoon flat and measure where to place the letters of your chosen phrase. Then you’ll create a loop in the spoon handle, decorate with glass double dip art beads by Cindy Gimbrone and finish off with a wire spiral ornament hanger. Inspiration for the project (Picture of Cindy’s Grandmother at age 14) Several years ago, my mother handed me a container full of odds and ends silverware owned by her mother. Since my grandmother had died when I was very young, I’ve always cherished the small things passed down to me that were hers. My heirloom of mismatched tableware isn’t particularly valuable. There isn’t a full set of any pattern and it’s inexpensive silverplate. So for years I carried around the silverware wondering what I’d really do with it. This is the perfect project. I have a memento from her yet don’t feel like I’m ruining something of value.
