I want to say Hi to you all. Many years ago I tinkered with Fimo, the german Polymer. By coincidence I endountered a side in the Net that shows beautiful decorations made from Polymer. I was completely astonished, that so nice things are possibel with Polymer. I continued to research like these beatiful beads to be made and now I'm completely possessed by this work.
If you desire you can take a look at my first chains from polymer at my Album. I give you the link:

Oh sorry, I don't know how long it is 
I'm still not perfect for a long time and also considered, wethever I'm to dare the chains present here, after I saw, which made things you already makes. I hope you're patient with me. 
The first equipment I ordered with TCS, since the selection is not given in Germany. It makes very much joy for me to manufactured beads, but also Problems emerge again and again. It looks more easier than to do.
May I ask a question or two? In most pictures I cannot see as large the beads are. I would gladly know, how small a bead could be, so I'm able to regenerate still around another sample of Cane? If the beads are too small, the sample dois not fit and if I reduce the Cane too far, the sample is no more to be recognized.
With many pictures the beads look so high glossy, as they would be from glass. How does ist works? With polish I receive only a gentle gloss and with Fimo-gloss it looks eather not in the same way as in the fotos. There it seemed that the sample of the bead is under a thic glass layer.
I would be very pleased, if their someone can help me.
If qou still like to know more from me, thus asks calmly. I will answer at all. 
Happy claying

Hi Sam,
thank you for your kind comment. With the fish I started my carrier on PC 
By the time I find out what is wrong to make my beads more glaze. I buffed them more and before finish with gloss I polished them first. That makes them shining like glass-beads.
My pictures are only Scans, so the shining and colors are not really good to see. I should look after a better Digicam.
