The use of colored liquid polymer clay is growing in popularity. North Carolina’s Sharon Solly’s faux lampwork beads shown here and yesterday’s multi-layered pendants by Lesya Binkin are tempting me to give it a try.
Sharon’s been perfecting her liquid clay techniques and shares some of her secrets (fantasy cabochons) in the June issue of Polymer Cafe magazine. Her faux lampwork is a promising new twist.

Sharon’s and Lesya’s work are quite intriguing. I especially like the faux lampwork beads… I’ve taken classes in lampwork, and I can tell you it’s REALLY tough on the hands. I was ready to buy stock in BandAids after all the burns I got. And now that Donna Kato has put out her multi colored liquid clay, I can imagine it really would open up some new ideas.
Brava to the brave Sharon and Lesya (I hope I got her name right)!
