I wonder if you can tell which of these beads are inexpensive resin and which are wood?
I have really enjoyed working my way through this assorted bag of resin beads. I keep finding little gems to alter.
I applied several different Gilders Paste colours to these beads; Patina, Pinotage, African Gold and Violet.
I covered the beads with several layers of Inca Gold. I really liked them but felt I needed few more to create an interesting necklace.
I used the same colour palette on these wood beads. They turned out just as well as the resin beads did!
My work bench looked great.
This means that whether I choose to work with inexpensive wood or resin beads I can still create a whole new set!
thanx for the ideas
