Show & Tell: clay and beads...and more clay
Thanks Kathy - one of the keys, at least for me, is making sure I
measure the same amount of clay per bead. For the 'bowtie' beads, the clay was rolled out on the thickest setting and I used 4 cutouts with my 1" square cutter. The rest is just practice...practice..practice, lol. Barbara Bead & Polymer Clay Habitué There is a very fine line between a hobby and mental illness.

Omigoodness! Your poor MIL. I hope her surgery goes well.
I thought the noses were funny, and especially liked the elephant trunk! -- Jerri www.beadbimbo.com "Barbara Forbes-Lyons" wrote in message oups.com... The nose project was to cheer up my MIL, who lost her nose to melanoma last year. She's starting the reconstruction process next week, finally!

Thanks for the link to Bottles of Hope. I love to see all the bottles.

My current stash of bottles for BOH came from a member at the Ocala FL Guild. But, if you call your local hospital's cancer area and ask them to save bottles for you from the anti-nausea meds (forget the name, sorry), you can get scads of them. There are instructions on how to clean and prep the bottles at the Bottles of Hope site (http:// www.bottlesofhope.org). Beaded ones would be beautiful!

Your crocheted rope is great too! Looks so nice, tight and even. Where did you get your bottles for the bottle of hope projects? I wonder if there's somewhere local I could get some -- was thinking about covering them with bead weaving. -- KathyZ |

Yes, they are mine. I first make a ball of the white, flatten it
into an oval with my fingers, and then roll it around a small snake of the yellow. I tease the edges of the white down until they roll nicely into the calla shape. Then I put a headpin into the base, and take a small flattened portion of green and wrap that around the base of the white. Thats about it!
