TAD 27 ~ Just Playing Today

When I spent a whole day carving beads for a slew of bracelets I was left with two things - a huge blister on my hand and a tray full of chips carved from the beads. I kept thnking I could do something with all that clay even if it was cured. My son said I should combine it with other uncured clay; I thought perhaps if I put it in my (clay) dedicated food processor I could grind it into a fine powder. Well it just wouldn't grind down, staying instead in little divot-like pieces. So I added some opaque black and translucent. The first photo is after it's blended and rolled out.  Photo two, formed into beads showing bits and pieces sticking out. Last one is after curing, sanding and polishing. The beads show the variegated blue and white bits smoothed down and looking a lot like stone. I haven't decided what I am making with them yet, so they'll just go into my huge stash.
Thanks Byron for the cool idea!
