"Stacker Bead" Tutorial
All you need is a long blade and polymer
clay.
I normally choose 5 colors. Feel free to experiment.
This technique is also called a Damascus Ladder.
For the story on how they were "discovered, click here.

Step 1
select colors
|

Step 2
cut thin slices |

Step 3
stack the slices
|

Step 4
cut in half and re-stack |

Step 5
roll into a ball
|

Step 6
roll into a long tapered cone |

Step 7
cut the cone somewhere between the point and the fat end. |

Step 8
slice down center to reveal pattern |

Stacker Beads!
roll starting with fat end....bake and drill to avoid a misshapen Stacker bead

blog!
