Want to learn how to make an encased bead????
I figured those of you who are beginners, encasement challenged and those of you who have no clue how this process is done would like this. I am hoping it will give you a little insight on what goes into making these little windows of art. I have to tell you that it took me a good year of practice to get this down pat.
I did it over and over and over and now I can encase a bead in seconds. I think the only reason it took me so long was because I had to teach myself. I had no one showing me anything and found nothing on the Net about it, so it was hit and miss, over and over...
I made lot's and lot's of poo poo beads which I saved and cracked in half so I can use them later on a Mosiac table I want to make "some day".
Now my pictures aren't the best only because I had to do this all myself and it was hard to make the beads and hold a camera all at the same time.
Please forgive me!!!
There are quite a few pictures here, so please wait for them to load.
You can steal them too if you want, I don't mind. I love to share!!!
Good luck and don't give up!!!
PRACTICE
:)
Beware there are a few typo's in them but I'm just too lazy to fix them.
Ready??? Here we go....
This is how I make my encased Jungle Bloom beads.
