In this bog post I want to share with you the new stepped heart texture plate and some of the beads I have made with it so far.
To the left is a 30mm encased heart. The depth of this bead was just 10mm before adding texture and the mandrel 2mm. As the stepped heart texture plate is 4.5mm deep in the centre I added a little dab of clear glass to the surface of the bead on both sides before adding texture to make sure the smallest 5mm heart came out looking perfect.
Below are other examples of the kind of results that can be achieved, including a tumble etched chunky lentil, bright 15mm shank buttons, chunky 14mm heart big hole beads and a love letter pillow bead where just pressing a tiny dot of red glass gives the look of a wax seal.
This texture press is available to pre-order on my website for October dispatch - www.jolenebeads.com
Thanks for stopping by, Jolene x
