Rolled Bead Variations

Aztec Design Beads-

The beads at right are made with Clear PolyShrink using Brilliance inks and a Rollagraph stamp design.

Follow the instructions on the previous page with these changes:

Instead of the overall decoration with 3 passes of inked designs, make one "direct from the pad" application of Brilliance "Galaxy Gold". The application should be random, with lots of space between the ink marks you make.

Next, ink your Rollagraph with "Lightening Black" Brilliance and roll out the design going the short way of the sheet. Leave some space between each design application.

After baking, apply "Cosmic Copper" to the sanded/design side of half the strips you've made.(The beads that look silver have no additional color applied after baking, the warm reddish ones do.)
