Roman Empire is now available at https://beadsbykatrina.etsy.com.

This beautiful bracelet features bronze, gold, pearl, and pewter polymer clay printed beads that were entirely handmade by me.

I make the polymer clay beads using the time consuming millefiori, or caning technique. I put different color clay together in such a way to make a “cane” and then cut thin slices off of the cane and roll them onto a core bead that I have previously hand rolled. I then string the beads on jewelers’ elastic.

Bead Size: my handmade polymer clay beads are approximately 8-9mm. Please note that these bead sizes are for this bracelet only.

“Enchanted Forest” is now available at www.etsy.com/shop/beadsbykatrina!

This polymer clay bead bracelet features beads with a unique green, fuchsia, white, and glitter navy design. The design is put in the clay through the time consuming millefiori technique, or “caning.” After I have put the different color clays together in such a way as to make the cane, I then cut thin slices off of the cane and place those slices on a plain clay core bead that I have previously handrolled. The designs are NOT painted on the beads and the beads are strung on jewelers’ elastic.

Bead Size: my handmade polymer clay beads are approximately 9mm. Please note that these bead sizes are for this bracelet only.
