The Whimsical Bead

Hiya Dani. Isn't it nice to be able to do this here? It's really just a great venue, allowing everyone freedom to advertise their wares. Lovely to see you here, will have to have a good squiz at your shop this weekend!

Thanks Mel! Yep it is good. I'm really loving it here. I'd love you to take a squiz (and anyone else that wants to!) - I've just updated a few things and I'd love some feedback......positive or negative.

Thanks Janet. The Japanese papers are gorgeous and I can't even remember how I discovered them to tell you the truth. I made myself a pill box with the papers (writing a tutorial at the moment actually!).
Basically its 3 layers, clay, papers then translucent or amazing glaze over the top! Then sand if using translucent.
Will be getting more of it in over the next few months.

I'm not 100% sure Janet - I haven't actually tried!! I used the Japanese papers as they are stronger and have lovely patterns. Perhaps someone else has tried?
