> how does Fimo work for making beads for spangles?

Some of my very first painted bobbins bought in the early 1980s came with 
Fimo beads colour co-ordinated with the painting and they still look like new 
after 20 years.  They are a matt finish having not been varnished, but now I work 
with Fimo myself I know that by using the very fine wet and dry polishing 
papers it is possible to get a mirror-like surface.   Time consuming though and 
not practical for a commercial enterprise with cost restraints, but for a few 
beads that you are making for your own special bobbins it is worth it.  Lots of 
polymer clay sites on the internet and a quick google search will find them.
