FAQs
* Polymer Clay is the medium used to create these beautiful little worlds of collectable Art.
* Washable, Dry Cleanable, hand wash too although the glossy finish could result in a duller sheen and can be refinished for the cost of postage.
* I stand by my work and will do my best to help should an issue arise with my beads.
* Take care not to subject your jewelry to harsh chemicals as it could damage silver, copper or gold plated tems.
* Beads are very very durable, in over 30 years I've only had 2 damaged keychain beads from birds! I did repair said beads there will be a small cost for repairs in cases like this.

Karen Lewis aka Klew
Polymer Clay Artist ~ Klew
Beginning with a technique referred to as “caning” which was borrowed from the Venetian Glass bead makers. A cane is a bundle of colors puzzled together creating a picture when viewed from its cross section.
Klew created this style of veneer bead making utilizing a select family of slices off as many as a dozen canes then applies as a veneer over a core while assembling the surface collage for each unique Art bead.
Each piece is handcrafted by Klew.
