Here are pics of the Faux Ceramic beads that I taught Virginia how to make today with Kato Clear Medium and Alcohol Inks. The base bead is a mixture of White Premo Clay, a bit of beige and a lot of beach sand. The beach sand came from the Nambucca Heads Beach. Adding the sand gives the clay just the right look. All of these beads are Virginia's except for the little spotted fish at the bottom right hand corner. She's going to give these a couple more coats of Magic Glos at home.
There just wasn't enough time in the day to finish all the tiles. These ones are partially finished. Virginia decided to take these ones home to finish. I'm sure that however she finishes them will be fantastic. She has a wonderful eye for colour and design as you can see from the bottom three images.
These are a couple cheese knife handles that Virgina covered with polymer clay cane slices. They're very popular in the Craft Shop where she sells them in South West Rocks. She just can't keep up with the demand at the moment. The shop's wanting more of 'em. I can understand why!
Notice the little grey bags that the knives are set upon. Virginia made those herself with some leftover felt that she had from when she was felting. What a fabulous case to put them in after using and putting away. Great protection from getting nicked.
