Making your very own Paua Shell beads from poly clay

Question:
I am still alive and have been reading and learning. Sometimes it is best to just listen. I was surfing as usual and came up on a VERY interesting web site! It has lessons on making Faux Paua Shell from poly clay! I can not wait to try this, as soon as I can. In the meantime I was thinking that perhaps someone here would like to give this a try, to see the outcome. The possibilities are endless! Beads, cabs and so much more! I think I have found a way to make that Tiffany lamp shade... maybe... lol Here is the link: http://www.polymerclaycentral.com/faux_paua.html This will be fun I am sure.


Answer:
-That looks very interesting Harry. I have book marked it to have a look at later when I get back off my Golden anniversary trip.

-This looks like a more detailed recipe than one I found recently, which involved a rainbow skinner blend and pearl. I've been trying that, and getting really pretty mixes, but nothing that looks like paua, so far .

Thanks for the link. I'll be trying out this mix, believe me

-I've used this technique...oh, about six weeks or so ago. They really do come out looking pretty realistic. I'm gonna have to get some more clay to play with it. If it works like I'm hoping...I'm gonna do something cool around the bathroom mirror.
