Are you an artist and interested in how I make my beads look so old and worn?  Well, this tutorial will show you the painting techniques I use on my polymer clay beads.
These techniques can also be used in mixed media art (you can even use it on blank fired ceramic beads- though it does look different because they absorb the colors different.)  
What this tutorial shows:
This tutorial shows the many layers I use, the materials needed and sealers that are reccomended for polymer clay.  It has pictures and is stepped out so you can follow easily.
What this tutorial does NOT show:
how to make the beads.  This only shows how to paint your already formed and baked polymer clay beads.
Please note:  This tutorial shows you a painting technique.  I purposely did not show the making of the beads, because I want you to use it on YOUR style beads.  Please do not recreate my bead designs.  I hope that you will be inspired to make your own designs and find many uses of this technique to put a new spin on them!
