I've always admired Rasa Lazauskaite's work. Her best beads are on page 4 and 5 of her bead gallary. All her work is great but I just love page 4 and 5. She lives in Illionois also... maybe someday I will meet her.

Wow, those are amazing beads!  Thanks for sharing.  Alice

The beads are absolutely beautiful.  Could someone please tell me how does someone learn how to do something that beautiful?  I enjoy polymer clay but I've never come close to something like that and there is no one around to teach me.  Any suggestions?

Rasa has her own unique style. Here are several polymer clay tutorials that you might find useful.
