In this 6 part video tutorial series, you will learn how to make two awesome bead shapes… the twisted torpedo polymer clay bead and the wire tornado bead. They are used together to create a gorgeous pair of dagger style earrings. Included are many tips, tricks and techniques that you can use to create these stunning beads in the colors and styles I suggest, or your own. Truly a one-of-a-kind polymer clay project. These gorgeous Tornado and Torpedo Beads can be used to create gorgeous earrings, pendants, bracelets, toggles, necklaces and other jewelry pieces. Plus these beads are great for making whatever other beaded creations you can dream up!

My last addiction was lentils. But I'm loving these torpedoes even more!! I can't get over how easy it is to make subtle variations to go with matched sets. They're just the simplest, easiest, and most beautiful beads!

Hi Cindy, I have been enjoying learning all your great techniques. Have made the Tornado and Torpedo beads and love wearing them. We are away at the moment travelling in our caravan, and I have taken some clay with me... yep I am addicted! Thanks again for all your great videos.


~Cheryl-W


Wow Cindy!!! These are two stunning new bead shapes and types. Love the economical fact that scraps can be used to make the torpedo beads, randomly, then planned for duplicates. I constantly marvel at your creativity to come up with new forms, color ways and wire/clay combos.

Cindy, I finally bought two of your tutorials today and I am incredibly pleased with the amount of information you give and the level of care you take to share all the details needed to make your projects. Thanks for your superb tutorials.


~Petrina-B


Wow! These beads are so cool, Cindy!


~Marianne-O


They’re so awesome!


~Cherie-H


Of course - coffee in hand, still in nighty - NEW TUTE!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my gosh!!!!!!!!! What a unique tute. I have seen this style of bead a LOT lately. So timely. I will spend days and days playing with this tute. TY so much......... this is a BIG winner in my book.

Cindy, you are my angel. Just put my beads in the oven. Love, love making them. I found if I roll with my left hand it is not as heavy as my right since I'm right handed. I like working with seed beads and polymer together. Thank you again. Always.


~Pat-L


I saw the intro clip to this tutorial yesterday and nearly went crazy having to wait for the "whole show" to be posted today. I thought I had worked out how you did it Cindy, but I was so wrong! You make everything so easy, and possible!


~Julia-G


Another fantastic series!!!! I wish I had all weekend to play in the clay, lol.


~Michelle-A


Thank you Cindy! I really enjoy your tutorials. Love the designs and love the techniques and love your work!!!


~Joyce-W


WOW Can’t wait to see how mine turn out. Almost afraid to try as yours are so beautiful. I really like the combination of the two beads. And I just got an order of wonderful seed beads from Fire Mountain. Thanks so much Cindy and Doug.


~Sylvia-J


What fun! I'm thinking Christmas tree ornaments... perfect for feather trees. Ideas keep coming. Thank you, Cindy.


~Jane-S


Wow, these are so gorgeous Cindy! I think that's my weekend accounted for! :-)


~Lesley-S


Since watching the tutorial earlier tonight I've already whipped up about 30-40 and the first batch is all waxed and buffed and polished to a lovely shine! They're sitting in a cup on my desk like a little bouquet of joy. I just love them so much!


~Katy-A


Love this tutorial, never would have guessed it was so simple. Thank you for sharing.


~Jackie-B


Love, love this tute. ONCE was a redhead, so I am drawn to orange, turquoise, black, white, plus of course, the foil. My earrings are made. Now to finish the necklace... just in time to wear to our Guild meeting Saturday. Isn't it fun to have something NEW to wear... Christmas is coming... hmm more, more!


~Patt-W


Being able to use scrap clay, hand-rolling and easy ear wires... tornado beads is just the idea I was looking for. I can now use up my stash of millions of seed beads. Mix and match to compliment the colours makes them look so classy. Cindy what a brain, thank you.


~Elaine-F


Love this tutorial Cindy, neat beads!


~Kay-B


I'm so glad I was finally able to become a member. I really appreciate you and Doug doing all the hard work behind the scenes as well as on camera and offering us the opportunity to learn so much from you for such a reasonable price! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Ok, enough chit chat... back to torpedo making!


~Katy-A


These are WONDERFUL beads, and imagining what I want to do with them has brightened up an otherwise Gray day. Big smile all over my face. Thank You SO much!


~Julia-G


I am so delighted with this tutorial! The beads came out fantastic! Thank you so much Cindy, you're still coming up with these amazing ideas, where do you get your inspiration from? I'm really grateful that you share them all with us!


~Marion-R


I made my first Polymer Clay Tutor project! YAY! I decided that I’d make a couple of pairs of these earrings for my sister and friend who are Florida Gator fans. So, I know the colors are a bit obnoxious - but I think they turned out well for my first try. The beads were the easiest and most fun part!


~Lena-S


I have been toying with the idea of polymer clay for over a year... felt that I had no real artistic ability. I do make wire jewelry but love playing with poly clay, and your tutes let me follow along and produce some jewelry worthy beads and color blends. Thanks Cindy.


~Alicia-P


I can't believe how incredibly simple this technique is for such a spectacular result. Love love love, thanks Cindy.


~Cheryl-Y


Just finished watching all the videos on Tornado and Torpedo beads and I love it. Cindy makes everything very clear and easy.
