B'sue Boutiques is a Sponsor for Art Beads Scene Blog's June Challenge

Art Beads Scene is a blog for lovers, makers and collectors of art beads---be they glass, clay, ceramic, bisque.

Some love to make art beads!  My fave medium is polymer clay.   Heather Powers, the force behind Art Beads Scene Blog, is the owner of Humblebeads.   Humblebeads is a much loved resource for polymer clay art beads and focals.

I was so pleased to be asked by Heather to be one of the sponsors for her June challenge.   I hope you will take a moment to have a look and consider being part of Heather's group.   All challenge entries must contain ART BEADS.   Take a moment to look at the criteria....and then, go be creative!

Polymer clay is an inexpensive and forgiving medium.   It can be cut, stamped, inked, painted, drilled.

Our new Spectrum Noir alcohol inks are FAB over polymer clay:

SWELLEGANT metal coatings, dye oxides and patinas are also fab!

Ranger patina-inks with the Vintaj branding are also a fine choice:

And of course, we carry polymer clay as well as tools and glazes to go with it:

Here's my wonky bracelet made out of copper wire.....and art beads that I made!

We've got copper wire  at B'sue Boutiques.

You'll just have to come over!  This week is FREE SHIPPING week.....enter an order for 40.00 or more and enter BSUESHIP into the coupon box and voila, any US order is shipped FREE!

BUT FIRST:   you need to go to Art Bead Scene, subscribe to Heather's blog, check out the cool links....be inspired, and maybe!  enter that challenge.

Thanks, Heather, for asking me to be a sponsor.

I love that bracelet! Can you use the Vintage Patina Inks on polymer clay as well as metal?
My preferred medium is polymer clay and I enjoy using metal bits but like to get multi-purpose paints etc!
Thanks in advance -
