How do you learn how to make polymer clay character beads from start to finish like and expert?
I would really love to learn how to make polymer clay beads, specifically character beads. There are so many tallented artists on ebay, and I’d love to become one of them, but haven’t a clue how to start other than buying all sorts polymer clay tools and clay. I worked with it a little, but mostly got stuck in the finishing of the beads. Any suggestions on how I can become an expert bead maker from start to finish? Thanks for your help!
