A set of 5, handcrafted, polymer clay pillow beads. Beads don't come much bolder than this, there is a bit of a retro 60s feel going on.

The beads are part of a limited design range called Lulu.

The process for making the beads is quite long, it involves creating various components from polymer, to bring together in a large patterned cane. The cane is then massaged to reduce it in size. Once reduced the patterned cane is cut into slices, one of these slices is then adhered to each side of the polymer bead. Once it is ensured that all the air has been released it is shaped by hand. A needle tool is used to create the hole. The beads are then cured in the oven.

When cured each bead is hand sanded 2-3 times, to ensure a nice smooth quality.

These beads have also been painted with 2 coats of gloss.

Each bead weighs approx 2-3 g.

Each bead has a width of approx 17mm - 18mm.

Each bead has a 2mm hole.

Due to the handmade nature of this item each bead will differ slightly.

Although bright and colourful, these beads are not suitable for children.
