Steps:
1. Choose, size and print your images on the special photo paper.
2. Paint a thin coat of the liquid clay on a cut-out image.
3. Heat with embossing tool until you see it shine. Heat in a well ventilated area. Repeat two more times.
4. Carefully peel the cured liquid clay off the photo paper (figure A).
5. Roll a very thin sheet of white clay. Paint the back of the liquid clay image with a small amount of liquid clay (as an adhesive) and press it onto the white clay. Trim and bake per package directions. You now have a cameo image (figure B).
6. Using the colored clay, make a bead shape and stamp it with the rubber stamps for texture.
7. Press the cameo image into the clay bead, and put some clay over the edges to secure the cameo (figure C).
8. Pierce a hole in the bead with the needle tool for stringing and bake per package directions.
9. String the cameos on the memory wire with glass beads and other polymer clay beads (figure D).
10. Using round-nose pliers, turn the ends of the wire to hold the beads on.
