A Polymer Clay Tutorial: Alcohol Ink Beads

Hey, Peeps. I decided I need to branch out (again). So, I looked at my surface treatments book and found something I just hadn't done since then but I liked very much. Alcohol inks, Staz on and text stamps, a bit of metal leaf all wrapped up in translucent clay. It was described in my book but not done. So, here it is. You won't need much clay, just translucent and scrap (and maybe a nice neutral grey) and, with some luck, some things you might have such as alcohol inks, stamps, permanent stamping ink and metal leaf. I bet most of you have those things because we clay people collect everything that might work with polymer clay, the great cross promotional medium. So, let's get started!
