About this design:
I bought the polymer clay beads back in November to benifit Andrew Thornton's medical fund. Andrew is the brother of Cynthia Thornton better known to you all as Green Girl Studios. Not a fan of orange - it finally hit me that tiger eye would complement these beads well.
Components:
polymer clay beads from www.wildpelican.etsy.com, 10 & 8mm tiger eye, pewter spacers, gp daisies, gf roundsAdditional Images:
