Making a Black and White Statement

Image
Black and white makes such a striking statement and I am ready for a statement!   E xperimenting with combining black and white polymer clay, I stacked alternating layers into stripes and swirled them.   Then I cut the swirls into little pieces and compressed the pieces into a one-inch ball in my hands.   Sometimes I cut those balls into 4 pieces and reassembled them into another one-inch ball.   I combined my finished beads with volcanic stone beads about the same size.   It became obvious that I created two basic designs and they would not go together.   Some of the black and white balls reminded me of zebra stripes and some were much more abstract.   I had to make a decision! Two statements - one now and one for the future!    I used smaller black matt beads for the back of the necklace with a silver toggle. And this is the happy result!
