Feathered Bead
Marla James created this design using a technique call feathering.  Apply a slightly heavy amount of paint to the piece, then drag a feather through the paint to create each brush stroke.

Dots and Swirls
Marla used Duncan Concepts to painted dots and swirls all over each piece that continue onto the back.  Painting on both sides of your beads allows either side to be the focal point.

Criss Cross Bead
Judith uses beads like this one as centerpieces for her hand-woven necklaces.  She glazed and fired the piece before adding fine silver and firing it again.

Get these summertime flowers -- blooming in your ears!

Easy Necklace
With all the underglaze colors to choose from it is hard for customers to stop at painting just one piece once they see how easy it is to put their ideas on the smooth donut bead & tie on a toggle clasp.  They were popular teacher gifts at the end of the school year. - B. Pepper

Double Duty
Try painting two distinct designs on either side of a bisque pendant.  It's like having two necklaces in one!  This pendant really works double duty!

Wrap-a-round-Design
Paint designs that wrap around the bead for added interest!

Bead Splatter
Marla first glazed the piece with clear glaze and let that dry.  Then she splattered the piece with black using a paint brush loaded with black glaze.  The back is done the same way.

Donut Bead
Crystal-type glazes make bisque bead painting quick, fun and funky!  You're sure to get plenty of compliments on your jewelry when you use this simple painting technique.

Bisque Beauties
Beads are easy and fun projects for all ages! Kids always enjoying painting jewelery they can wear. This is a quick project, especially if you try the new Magic Metallic paints (No Firing necessary)!

Dazzling Beads
A quick and easy project for kids & adults! They sponged on the light color first - then they did the shaving cream method on top. They turned out beautiful!

God Created
And then there were Tag-Alongs! Jane makes wonderful use of Tag-Alongs for a kid's camp! Use different techniques to create a variety of texture and pattern. Have the kids pick their favorite Tags to make the piece especially unique.

Bead-azzling!
This awesome design was created by the talented Bobbie! She added bisque beads to her design as 3-D attractions. She proved that beads can be served as Tag-Alongs! The vibrant color and use of 3-D shapes makes this piece especially interesting!
