Bead Strand

I’ve been coming up with a design for my beads for the guild bead strand. You can see part of a previous year’s strand on the SCPCG traveling exhibit page. I’ve known about it all year, I just couldn’t decide what I wanted to make – can you tell I’m a procrastinator? 🙂

I’ve decided to make a faux ivory moon with an owl on one side and a wolf on the other.. Ivory is one of my favorite effects – it works so wonderfully to bring out the details in one of my mini sculpts. Jade is nice too and you can do a nice faux bronze with a mix of black and gold clay, antiqued with turquoise acrylic paint. Check out the glassattic for more faux recipes.

This little manatee is an example. Do you have any ideas for other effects that I should try with these little guys? Just use the contact page or add a comment to the blog below.
