In this lesson I share with you exactly how I create my faux turquoise, including my own color mix recipe using either Kato or Premo clay. Afterwards, you will learn several ways to use your turquoise mix to make your own beads and other jewelry components that will look like highly polished gems that will last forever.

Silver combines beautifully with turquoise and as a bonus, I have included several ways to combine your turquoise with metal frames or bezels that you can combine with your faux turquoise or other clay designs of your choice. You can use your own handcrafted frames made from wire or metal clay or ones purchased from a craft supply store.

Although this tutorial is classified as easy, some basic skills in polymer clay would be very helpful.
