Faux Amber

Don'tcha love amber?  I do.  Don'tcha hate how expensive it is?  I do.  :D  So,  wonderful polymer clay lends itself to faux stones.  I was experimenting with the relatively new Pardo translucent clay and this is what I came up with.  What do you think??

The Pardo Clay really shines up well! Did you sand & buff these beauties???? I look forward to seeing the final creations with these beads!

WHOA, Never seen any kidney stones that look like that. Seriously GORGEOUS and realistic! I specially like the mango. Can't what to see what you do with them.

Thanks, Norma! In a bit I am going to attempt to make that lovely aged yellowish amber. I'm glad you came to visit my blog! :D

I did, Jodie. I sanded from 600 to 800 to 1000 grit then buffed with my Dremel. They did come out nice and glassy, didn't they? I was soooo happy! :D

Anita! I have NOOO idea what to do with them. I think I will just wait for inspiration to strike. :D Maybe I will make some more faux turquoise. That ought to look great! What do you think??

So gorgeous Moe! Looks like Pardo is perfect for making Faux Amber. Love the shine is has as well!

Thanks Cindy! I used this dark amber with some cheapy "turquoise" my friend got at a swap meet. It came out great and now the mystery turquoise doesn't look quite so....unreal. :) I actually think it might be dyed howlite but I'm not sure. Anyway, this bronzy color looks great with the turquoise color. :)
