In this tutorial, I will show you how to create a faux turquoise using my own color mix recipe using either Kato or Premo polymer clay. This is fun to do and gets a little messy, but the end results are well worth it.

Afterwards I will show you what to do with your turquoise clay and how to make your own beads, cabachons and other jewelry components.

As a bonus, you will will learn how to fill several types of metal frames or bezels without the need for any glue. You can use your own handcrafted frames made from wire or metal clay or ones purchased from a craft supply store.

You will also learn how to finish off your pieces so they look like highly polished gems that will last forever.

This lesson consists of 31 pages broken down into 92 simple to follow steps and includes more than 90 photos for easy and clear instruction.
