Hand-Sculpted Daffodil Beads

More flowers?

I just finished these polymer clay flower beads. There are two types of daffodils. I made them in natural colors, took pictures, and then added patina and took pictures again.

I am pleased with both looks, although I think that an antiqued version of a rose bead seemed more logical than the same thing for a daffodil. Why is that so?

These beads are already listed in my Etsy shop (with more pictures in each listing).

Hand-Sculpted Hibiscus Flower Bead

Custom Order

I was asked to make a pink polymer clay hibiscus flower that would fit over a 50-mm bead holder.

This is what I made.

There is a soft gradation of color, from darker to lighter pastel pink, on the petals. The pistol of the flower is made with seed beads and citrine chips threaded on a sterling silver head-pin. It is attached to the wire loop in the center of the flower and has some freedom of movement. The flower is about 2” in diameter.  There is a vertical beading hole in the back for the bead holder. 

Custom Order - Hand-Sculpted Polymer Clay Beads with Blue Irises

I made these beads over weekend and shipped them out today. The bases of these beads are 1" in diameter and 1/4" thick. I really like how the irises turned out - they have lots of color with smooth transition from lilac to sky-blue and to dark blue with some purple hues. Just beautiful, if I may say so myself. My customer is going to make hair sticks adorned with these beads. Great idea, isn't it? Beads like that would also make interesting earrings or focal beads for a necklace.
