Product Description
A nice set of beads here ready for you to design something wonderful with.
Made with one of my own polymer clay canes, there are four fairly large square pillow beads and five small flat pill shaped matching spacer beads.
This set has been tumble sanded and hand buffed but
NOT glazed. Some people prefer my beads left uncoated.
I'm happy to coat these with varathane for that shinny look if you like. No extra charge. Put that in notes to seller.
Just allow an extra day or two to be sure they are fully dry before I pack and ship.
Materials Used
polymer clay
More Info
All my beads are hand formed. I don't use any kind of mold or machine. Just my eyeballs and sense of touch as I make the beads. So expect there to be some differences in size and shape from bead to bead. Each is unique. That's part of the joy of "handmade." I do try to only list beads that I consider a matched set. Odd balls are tossed into a bin and eventually I'll list as a destash grab bag item.
Also..... a few listings may be for set amounts of beads.
But since Artfire allows me to list how many of an item I have, I plan to start photographing a whole lot, but list a per bead price, or per small group. (listings have to be over one dollar to show up in google.) This way YOU can decide how many you need and only buy that.
(I love Artfire! Couldn't do that on Etsy.)
I keep the shipping as low as I can and many of my items ship free with any other purchase.
So stock up!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Also.... I'm really not a jewelry maker. Rather make the parts for other artists to play with.
I'll photograph my beads next to a ruler so you can gauge the size. As for the hole? I have no clue how you jewelry people measure that. But... if you need a wide hole and aren't sure based on my photos if it's large enough, please contact me. Polymer clay is incredibly easy to drill. I can always enlarge a hole.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finally, and this part will be up in the description, sometimes I'll coat beads with a clear varathane and sometimes not. In any case, people have asked me if the beads are all water proof coated or not.
I've tested this myself. Warn some in the pool, lake, shower. I personally like the feel of the uncoated ones better when they are wet but sometimes the design just cries out for a shine. And sometimes I'll use things like gold leaf, or pearl-ex powder and that really does need a protective coating. Not to worry. They will be fine so go ahead and wear them anywhere.
