My polymer clay experiments: rose

Trying to work with polymer clay, here is my first handmade clay rose. Still have to buy the gloves so I don't leave my fingerprints all over my creations.

I have just discovered that you can actually make beads, pendants and other elements for jewellery from polymer clay yourself. So this is a next task to accomplish, unless Im bored with the process before I get good at this. But I don't think so. It takes quite a bit of time, but so far it has been interesting.
