Natasha bead necklace - gone!

Here's the completed necklace with the Natasha Bead.  If you want to know more about the Natasha Bead just scroll down to an older post with information about the bead. It's a unique one of a kind bead made with left over scrap polymer clay. Since it was a large bead and very patterned, I thought I'd keep it really simple with a leather cord and fancy bead caps to show off the bead.

Natasha bead

This is a 'Natasha bead' invented by Natasha.  The great thing about it is that it turns out different every time - a one of a kind original bead.  It's kind of magical.  The patterns that emerge look quite intricate but it is actually just scraps of  left over polymer clay lumped together.  You can't really plan a design , just maybe move the clay bits around when you smoosh them together. It ends up having a mirror image on each surface of the bead.  It's like an abstract  painting, the colors flowing and blending and falling into their own pattern. I still have to sand and buff this bead.
