This is a piece of coral my son found on the beach in Florida in 2007. It is an extraordinary piece of coral in that it reminds me of that precious time and floods me with wonderful memories each time I look at it. I remember the feeling of contentment and peace of mind seeing my family enjoy the sand, sun and ocean.
But I also found that by just using the top section of the coral I could create this very interesting crackle effect in beads;
The sides of the coral added a nice texture to the edge of these clay discs;
I am thrilled to get so many uses out of one item! It has opened my eyes to looking at every little object with potential for so much more. A change of position and color of paint and I have a seemingly endless way to decorate polymer clay art beads!
Much Love & Respect,
Shannon
