This is one of the two bracelets that I am making from the polymer clay beads I made the other day. I sanded and buffed them until my fingers were sore and still couldn't get them as shiny as those I see in books and on the internet. Maybe they have a better way of photographing them than I do.
So I painstakingly gave every bead two coats of varnish - and they really shine in 'real life' now.
I knew it would happen - when I now look at the first set of beads I made, they don't look half as nice as these. Maybe it's that these are a darker colour and varnished and look so much richer. The others were summer colours

I love the colours too. Varnishing makes all the difference I think. Love your experiments too, the heart one particularly.
Ooh these are fabulous I really like the colour combination and the glitter. The varnish gives them a great shine too. You've inspired me to get out my polymer clay and give bead making a go!
Thanks for sharing with us at Crafty Cardmakers.

Looks like you're still having fun with the clay, these look lovely! I know it's a different experience than silver clay but imagine if you'd been forking out for the supplies for that to do this much experimentation!
I should have read your post properly, lol. These are, as I said, fabulous and are perfect for my bead challenge at Crafty Cardmakers. Thanks for joining in. xx
