puppychick labratbecky says:Very, very nice! Is that the color of the clay or did you tint it with another color? It looks like another shade is filling in the indentations. I especially like the fact that you put the hole in the side of the bee instead of the top or bottom.
Very artistic!

Asia says:Becky, I used gold colored clay, than a bronze mica powder and some acrylic paint to antique it.
