Carving Polymer Clay Beads for Texture and Effect, Part 2

In this video we take carving polymer clay beads a few steps further than in Carving Beads Part 1. (see Part 1 here: https://youtu.be/nO1Y6IyFGnM ) In these steps you will use mica powders and how to use sanding and staining techniques for different effects on your beads.

The supplies you will need for this project, besides your polymer clay, are
1) a craft knife,
2) acrylic paint thinned with water in a 10 parts water to 1 part paint for staining, and
3) sanding papers in 120, 220, 320 and 400 grit (do not use wet/dry sandpaper wet). You can also use finer grits, depending upon the amount of shine you want on the finished bead.)
4.) a linoleum cutter ( if you choose to use one, I used the Speedball Linoleum Cutter Assortment #1. You can find one here: https://www.dickblick.com/products/speedball-linoleum-cutters/

Thanks for watching, and enjoy!
