STEP
#1 Roll balls of clay in different color. I use Gold will be use for
accent color only because it is so soft.
Step #2 With pasta
machine, roll a sheet of Black, cut it in half. Roll a sheet of
White, then put it between 2 sheets of Black, press down lightly. Cut
thin slides from the stack, wrap the ribbon around the beads.
Step
#3 Cut some of the Black&White ribbon into small pieces, stick
them on the beads, in pattern or randomly. Roll each ball lightly to
press the ribbon or small pieces down.
STEP #4 Make a small
snake of clay, cut into tiny little pieces, roll them into small
little balls and flatten them with your fingernail. Stick that flat
circle on to the ball. Like so.
STEP #5 See how many different
way you can use those Black & White ribbons, and the tiny polka
dots.
STEP #6 Add more details with tiny dots and tiny snake
of Gold or contrast color. For example, put white dot on black dot.
Like so.
I press the beads down lightly in the picture.
Here are one of
the finished bracelet. I strung the beads on the stretchy cord with a
copper spacer beads.
I wonder how many different beads I can make for just
using 5 color clay. What do you think? Up to the challenge, anyone?
