Emma Ralph is happy to announce the opening of her new online store E J R Beads at www.ejrbeads.co.uk. As well as selling Emma’s own unique polymer clay Artist beads, the UK based mail-order store also carries a wide range of beads, craft supplies and Fimo polymer clay. “I had many requests since the publication of my first book about where to purchase the clay and other supplies used, so setting up an online store seemed the next logical step!” says Emma. UK customers in particular will appreciate the wide range of Fimo polymer clay on offer (including larger blocks) always fresh and at excellent prices.

Two products that are sure to interest all polymer clay enthusiasts are the Wooden Printing Blocks and EJR Bead’s Easy Transfer Holographic Foils.

The wooden printing blocks are hand-carved wooden stamps that can be used in much the same way as rubber stamps. However, the wooden blocks are more deeply cut than most stamps, making them ideal for impressing strong patterns into clay when creating Mokume Gane or Mica Shift techniques. They are available in a wide selection of floral or animal designs, and priced under 2 dollars each – they won’t break the bank either!

EJR Bead’s Easy Transfer Holographic Foils are sure to prove equally as popular. Most polymer clayers are familiar with transfer type foils. The plastic-backed foil is laid over unbaked clay, rubbed down firmly and then the plastic is ripped away to leave the foil in place on the clay. But if you have ever found some holographic foils difficult to “release” then the EJR Bead’s foils are for you! “I find these the most easy-to-use holographic transfer foils I have ever tried,” says Emma “that is why I just knew I had to stock them in the store! These foils give me consistently good results at an excellent price.” The foils are available from the store in packs of 6 sheets (each sheet is approx. 10 x 6 inches.) Each pack contains a random mix of 3 different silver-toned holographic patterns. All for less than $7.00 a pack!

Ordering from EJR Beads could not be simpler. You can opt to show all prices in US Dollars and make a secure payment for your order through Paypal. Shipping prices are based on order weight allowing you to view the exact shipping costs at any stage while placing your order. So no more nasty surprises or having to email for shipping quotes! Shipping is reasonably priced too, with Airmail starting from as little as $3.20.
