I am excited to share these new pieces with you, our readers and my team mates here at AJE. This month I wanted to break out of the "clay cave" as I call it - and offer something different! I am busy glazing and firing pieces for the last Bead Fest Spring event - and taking a day to work in polymer feels like a welcome break.
So - without further ado... my polymer amulet beads.
 |
| Fresh from the oven, painted and ready |
I love a wearable piece that has a message, or a meaning. And these take that to a new level. The core of the amulet is a piece of aluminum tubing and the beads are open at the top. I imagine them with a miniature scroll of paper, an image, a message...
 |
| Amulet bead in hand - shown for scale. |
The facts:
- These focal beads are approximately 1.5" long.
- Some have corks, others do not.
- They are drilled through - so they can be strung easily or have wire wrapped loops added on...
 |
| You could win ONE of these - but let me surprise you... |
Want to play along? Here are the rules…
- I will give away 2 amulet tube beads (chosen at random) to 2 winners selected randomly from those who leave a comment below this post. Your comment MUST include your EMAIL AND BLOG address so we can contact you should you win.
