A Simple New Way to Make Polymer Clay “Baroque Beads”
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 พ.ค. 2024
- Welcome to my Channel, Studio and this little tutorial on an old friend of mine - Baroque Beads. These were some of the first beads I made - you see I didn't know how to cane and applying discs, triangles, twisted ropes to solid colored bases seemed a good way for a newbie to get into polymer clay. I made the beads in the late 80s - early 90's and they are in my first book published in 1997.
I loved making these beads. At the time there was no Skinner Blend so they were solid colors on solid colors (mostly straight from the packages because I didn't know how to mix colors then).
So, here they are again. This time, we'll begin by making them as I did then with one huge change, you'll see. Then I show how to make them even easier - with cutters! Yup. ferrules - we didn't use them in the old days.
I hope you enjoy! This is a great project/tute for newbies!
Big hugs, D

I love that sweet pink bead, too! It looks like a mine that would explode with glitter and candy and puppies and other good things😃
It IS funny to look back on old stuff and realize what you DIDN'T know back then. I remember learning about scrap cores and veneers and saying, "Duh!"
As a beginner I am not ready yet for such beads but I love watching you. Thank you so much for teaching us all.
Sunday morning trip back in time with Donna ... Life Is Good! Great to see you, Donna!😊
I love that every time I watch one of your videos, I always pick up little tips for things that I've wondered about. Always bothers me that I get those dark spots from metallic clay. Now I know why and how to fix them!
I just had to get your book! 😊 By next month, I'll be able to travel back in time and make some of these lovely beads! ❤ (But I'll use your updated instructions!) Thankyou Donna! XxxX
I will give these a shot for sure this week , I’m new to polymer clay but your tutorials are very enjoyable and I feel pretty confident I will be able to replicate something like this. I think my littlest girl will love them too , she is autistic and the shape and colour of these beads look fantastic and sensory. Well done Donna and thank you ❤
It's okay if spacing on a sphere isn't perfect, it's physically impossible to see a greater percentage of it than what you cant, so you won't ever see them side by side lol
So fun! Love this project. When I finish my pods and snails will make these. Thanks Donna you’re the best-really!
I bought that book along time ago. Used my 60% off coupon❤❤❤ can't use coupons on books no more😔
Donna, its rare to find such an incredible artisan as you who is also a dynamite teacher.
Since i don’t have much leftover clay to use as stuffing, i use wooden beads (bought on Amazon) that i cover in a thin layer of liquid clay. It works great!
So super cute D 💜 cutters are the way to go, definitely 😊 thanks again for all your hard work 😊💜
Assembly line❣️
Look at those gorgeous nails!😊
I HAVE this book!!! It is from when you were on Carol Duvall
Beginners!!! I waited quite a while before trying them out.❤
Yaaaaaa so glad you did this video I have the book when I first started I tried so hard to do it and couldn't 😂😂😂😂😂😂 your work is so amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩 thank you
Simply love your tutorials 🎀🎀
Sorry I missed it. Got busy!
