Formation of polymer clayPearl bead from polymer clay own hands - a master class. Picture №3So, first of all, it is necessary to producerubbing polymer clay with a grater (with a coarse grind). You can also use a knife to cut our product into small pieces. The pieces need to be collected together, and then pulled out in the form of a sausage. As you will notice, our colors will mix.Pearl bead from polymer clay own hands - a master class. Photo №4When working, try to combine colors as much as possible, but do it as smoothly as possible. It will be ideal if the sausage has smooth, but partial color transitions.Pearl bead from polymer clay own hands - a master class. Photo №5Let's create sausage!The sausage also needs to be divided into 4 equal parts. Then, it needs to be reassembled. The drawing should be small, so that we get a completely realistic version of the product. Then, using the base layer, we roll out our drawing, using thin sections. When we get the drawing, we need to dip a small amount of gold leaf onto the tool or hands, and then spread it onto our product.Pearl bead from polymer clay own hands - a master class.

This way, the sheet will be smooth, and no gaps that may be in front of the cuts will be visible. Round shapes of the workpiece in this case are the best option for work. Using a bead-shaped base, we seal it with our base. In addition to round beads, we can also use beads in the shape of squares, triangles and other options.

You can also make a version of a chain of beads.
