Great tutorial again. Thank you so much for sharing. The last piece didn't look like someone doing yoga. Alison, it looked just like you asking your husband to get rid of the big spider on the roof. Once again, thank you for sharing. I for one love your videos.

I never thought much of Natasha Beads but this had given me a new outlook. I love these, they came out great! 💕

Thanks Allison. I think that should be the first technique that new PC people should learn. No matter what is successful, or not, this makes every effort rewarding.

Thanks for showing us a new way to make Natasha beads. I love to see what is revealed inside a block of clay! Can't wait to try this technique

I loved the mokume gane you made in an earlier video, but these veneers made from the scraps and slices from the Natasha beads are even prettier! Thank you for sharing your time with us!

Wonderful work!!❤ thank you for sharing with us!!

Gorgeous !!! A whole new look at Natasha beads, for me anyway!! Thank you!

Thanks! I have several mirrored pieces, but felt the designs were to small & intricate to be visible & appreciated. When I roll to enlarge they distorted too much. This technique is awesome! I'm gonna jump back on my bench, finally knowing what to do with them! You have saved them! Thanks again,!... Who the heck gave you a thumbs down on this?! Some people just can't appreciate a good thing!

Thank you. You are right. I have seen many tutorials on these and other beads. These are so pretty. Thank you for sharing.

WOW!! A whole new way to use one of my favorite techniques!!! These are BEAUTIFUL! Thank you for sharing..I can't wait to try this!! ❤

Thank you! So glad I watched this...I thought I knewhow to make Natashas but had never, ever thought to slice thinly from a block. I'd always sliced down the middle and shaved the excess off the back!

Wonderful job!

Loved this tutorial. All of your tutorials are so easy to follow.

Very good idea. I hadn’t thought of slicing - that makes the block go a lot further - and more beautiful designs. Thanks for sharing and happy crafting.

Very pretty!!

They turned out sooo cool!! And yes the last one does look like a person doing yoga and hearts! Love love 💕

Love the tutorial! Especially the way you can create more jewelry out of scrap clay. Thank you for sharing!

Love these, so pretty and I love the idea of slicing them and putting them on the backing to stretch out. You get a better look at the designs you get. Great idea and beautiful work as always. Thank you for sharing, you’re amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💜💜💜💜

These are really cool looking. Can’t wait to make some of these. I like the way you stretched them, so you can use bigger cutters. Great video!!!

Thanks I loved this it was very beautiful

This is one of my favorite techniques! I love what you made today.

When you were placing your cutters all I could think was how I would have chosen a different spot. Then I would contradict myself because I would see another perfect spot! Ahh so gorgeous!!

Very cool

Thank you. I love this technique. I’ve had some success, and some failures 🥴, with Natasha beads, but this is going to lead to far more successes. Thank you again.

Very nice tutorial. The beads came out quite lovely.

I love the Natasha process it was the only thing i got good at when I was doing polymer clay. I just might get my clay out and play. Thanks for sharing your talent with us!

Modern art nouveau ❤

How exciting to make something useful from scrap clay.

Gorgeous and I will definitely make some. Hope that Alex is getting stronger everyday. God Bless

thank you for sharing,, i could see something different in everything you did,, I saw the zen master,, i saw the cat, or cats i saw a bird with its wings outstretched,, really interesting stuff and beautiful :) and best of all very relaxing to watch and learn

Those are so cool! I have seen a few Natasha bead tutorials but have not seen where it is done as a veneer. I really like this idea and will be giving it a try in the future. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful work! Thank you for your tutorial!

Very nice 🤩🤩💖

This is brilliant! I always hate the Natasha beads that I make because they seem so bulky. But making them into veneers is so smart!! Plus you can get a lot more pieces out of your scrap than if you make one Natasha bead. So cool! Thanks!!

Love this...your instruction as always is the best.

I absolutely love this, I really wish I could make the exact same pendants that you did. I understand that you didn't invent the natasha bead, but your take on it is still genius and you should claim the rights to it, just like your last mokume gane technique, and nobody should make you feel bad about doing so, you deserve the credit!

Love your videos, such great techniques to expand my creativity. There's always sonething new to learn. Thought one of your vebeers looked like a cowgirl complete with chaps and hat! Then you turned it over...probably a good idea☺

They came out absolutely awesome, Allison, I have been missing your channel!!! Time to get back.

So darn cool!! Now I gotta go make some!! Thanks for the inspiration! Cheers!

Love these ..your pieces are always beautiful.

Bonjour Vos créations sont magnifiques j'adore !!! Cette technique est super. 👏👏bravo..😘😘

Real nice!! Thanks for sharing

hello 1970's psychedelic those are awesome

I see an Angel in the second veneer you did, in the center but closer to the bottom

love that i am making right now :)

Love what you did today. I hate how childish people are regarding art and who started a trend. I don't always know and I just do things for fun... It is not a college thesis....sorry not going to do the research, so not sorry.

Thanks a lot for sharing!!

Beautiful😍

Congratulations !

so William Morris! I want to use it to make art nouveau clocks

I should have thought and done that but took my scraps and mixed with the black.

WoooooooW 😍😍😍

They are Perfection!

I would have never thought to make Natasha's out of scrap veneers! I USED TO create new colors from the scraps, but thanks to your imagination, I'll see a lot more pretties happening on my table. Did you ever end up seeing the spider on your "she-shed" via deer cam?

Hi again Alison- I don't know if you will check these & see this so I figured I just give it a shot in case you do. I 1st wanted to say that I missed seeing a tutorial from you this week & I know I'm not the only one. Secondly, I want to say that I really really hope everything is ok. I hope Alex is doing well & that you & your family are great & I just hope that nothing bad happened. And lastly, I just wanted to tell you about something I found tonight at Walmart, of all places. Do you know the Folkart Color Shift paints? Most of them were called Blue Flash, Red Flash, Purple Flash, etc. Well anyway, I found a few new ones tonight. They all looked pretty but I didn't want to buy all of the new ones right away so I just chose 3 of them. It was a very easy decision for me & so I chose Raspberry Flash which is a pretty reddish color that has lots of gold mica particles in it & Plum Flash which is a very nice purple w/ gold & Dragon Flash which is like a real color w/ gold mica. They are absolutely beautiful, so cool looking & quite different from all the other Color Shift paints by Folkart (or at least all the ones I have seen & bought over the last few years). I had to try them out on some black Premo the second I got home & they are very very pretty on it. Haven't tried any other colors yet though. Anyway, I am really excited about them, just wish I was creative enough to come up w/ some cool ideas as to how to use them on paint like i know you could! So I just really wanted to tell you about them in case you're interested (and I selfishly hope you'll get them, love them & create a tutorial on how to use them with clay!). I also wanted to check in & see how you were doing & say I hope everything & everyone is ok. Oh & I also meant to tell you that I saw Dragonfly Glaze in Walmart tonight! I couldn't believe it! I already have all of them but I don't know, I was pretty excited to see them there. I know that Walmart is a lot easier for a lot of people to come across than, say, Hobby Lobby. And Walmart also now sells Glitterific paints. I don't have any of those & haven't even tried them yet but it's good to know that it's so readily available now. Ok I'm finally done. Hope you see this & hope all is well💗

Can you tell me where you got the cutters please..your work is beautiful!❤️❤️

Great project! Working with black clay on black background was a bit hard to see though

Absolutely great tutorial. Thanks so much for sharing your work. It’s the first time that I’ve seen this type of work and would certainly like to try it in the future. Can you please advise the exact names of some of the supplies that you u used and what can be done if I don’t have a pasta machine. Thanks again!!!!!!!

What are you working your clay on what kind of mat is it

Did you say you will clean up your edges after baking?

Your store has been closed since January? Are you not selling anymore? Thanks!

I know men when they cut logs length ways they made table from this same design and they called it book match

That is not a Natasha bead. A Natasha bead is when all four corners match.
