Focals from Scrap Clay

I've been wanting to try to make beads from my scrap clays ever since I saw Artybecca's tutorial/demonstration on flicker (click here to see it)

I finally got a chance to make a couple of focals...here's the first...







I think I went a little crazy on the highlights with the inka gold...you can't really see the original colors anymore... but I still like it.

I'm selling it as part of a bead soup... You can see it in my ETSY listing here - Pharoah's Gem Mix


Here's the second one I worked on...



This one I have not yet listed but will definitely make it also into a bead soup mix...watch out for it.

That's all for now.

    Those are gorgeous!! Did you freehand the designs, or stamp them? Love the gold added to it, and the mix is a perfect complement. Awesome!

      Thanks Shirley! I just did the designs freehand. They are so easy to make and yet, they come out really cool!
