7+ ways of making Natasha pendants - polymer clay tutorial 420

This is an intermediate level polymer clay tutorial. There are many, many ways of making Natasha beads/pendants and in this video I will show you seven of them (plus some variants).
The cutters I used:
polyclayplay.com/water-lily-p...
polyclayplay.com/sunflower-pe...

The super-thin and flexible blade that I am using to shave the backs can be found also at polyclayplay, in 4" length
polyclayplay.com/4-flexible-c...
and in 7,75" length (the one I'm using in the video)
polyclayplay.com/7-75-flexibl...
The rigid blade I'm using is the Amaco (the only one I use as it lasts FOREVER)

I had no idea natasha beads/pendants could be done so many interesting ways. Glad that you could put some of the scrap and cane remnants to good use, lol. It'll be fun to watch the rest of the series, so looking forward to them.

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Oh I am having so much fun with that scrap clay! Thank you so much for it, again! Yes, there are many ways, I'd probably be able to do another "7 ways" video on this subject!

Thank you. It's amazing what can be done with a little bit of creativity.(I wish I had some haha) I really enjoyed the video. xx

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Thank you! The truth is, none of us knows exactly how creative we are until we try. And if you fail, keep trying. Something, at one point will click inside of your mind - that would be the door opening to what lies within.

Merci, Monique!

[@Telenaus]

i always move mine around,matching the sides to each other to see what patterns POP lol,these are Neat!! also when i cut large parts off i check them together as well some times you get neat patters there to

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Oh absolutely! Usually when I'm not happy with the pattern I just put the pieces back and work the stack a bit more.

[@Telenaus]

usually it gets more and more well smaller color patches which is why i started checking all the edges, they are each mirrored so its 3 more possibilities before remixing & it some times helps me match them to other tiles making a long pendant sometimes

[@melonyjohnson5922]

These are so beautiful and look like fun to make! Do you mind sharing more about using the tumbler? Grit of sandpaper? How long did you run it for? Any buffing?

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

I do have videos on sanding and buffing. If you go to my channel page, and use the "search" function, you can find them.
