[3] Roll each ball with the Plexiglas square until the edges of the cane slices blend together and the seams disappear. Gently press the balls until they are pebble shaped (Photo C).
[4] Using a needle tool, make a hole through each pebble-shaped ball.
Textured beads
[1] Condition and mix clay to the desired color (I used copper and gold), and roll four balls that are similar in size to the millefiori beads.
[2] Dust the flexible stamp with cornstarch. This will allow the stamp to release from the clay easily.
[3] Sandwich a clay ball between the folded stamp, and gently press to slightly flatten the clay (Photo D). Check if the impression is deep enough. If not, roll the clay again, and repeat.
[4] Repeat steps 2 and 3 with the remaining balls.
[5] Use a needle tool to make a hole through each stamped and flattened ball.
