Deidra Nabors and Sandee Haven
Indiana Artists

Deidra and Sandee (Beadazzle) create polymer clay jewelry using a technique called "Millifiori", which is Latin for 1,000 flowers. This technique was used centuries ago by Venetian glass blowers and has been adapted for use in polymer clay. Each design is original and since they are hand-made, no two beads are exactly alike. The bead is made by wrapping and layering various colors of clay into a cane. When the cane is sliced the pattern is revealed.
