Helen Breil takes using stamps and textures to a new level with her most recent polymer clay focal beads. She introduces surprises and layers colors to provide drama.
I often hesitate to use stamps because they feel static. Helen has overcome that shortcoming with a bag of tricks that makes me want to try again. Looking at her design idea gallery is like taking a workshop.
I’m composing this post from 30,000 ft. in between time zones. Tomorrow is all about jet lag and preparing for an evening class at Craftcast.com. California beaches provided a heap of pebble research and I’m pumped for the class. Join us.

California haaaaaa, if only.
Helen’s focal beads are sooooo beautiful and original, I’m mesmerized. Her site is so well put together, very professional.
I’ll be with you in spirit at the class. Have fun.

Cynthia – Craftcast never responded to my question, so I’ll ask you. If I can’t take the class real time, can I take it later, and how?
Thanks. You rock (pun intended). – Beth
