Paper Clay Beads

I recently used Creative Paper Clay for the first time. I had been wanting to use paper clay for awhile, and with the right combination of events and occurrences, I found myself making some beads that were very satisfactory!

This bead is a flat tab shape, it was big enough that I had to let it dry overnight before putting the design on it. I used colored pencil, graphite pencil, gold leaf and carving. The paper surface carves beautifully and it also has enough tooth to take the colored pencil very well.

I like cave paintings and petroglyphs, this is an eternal circle of running cave bunnies!

I kept wondering how in the world that tied in to cave bunnies!

Beautiful bead, by the way! I hadn't planned on using paper clay, but now I think I just might! It's a shame that Pinterest didn't show me this sooner. I've been on for years!
