Quartz Inspiration

I've wanted to try making faceted polymer clay beads ever since I saw this woman's work on Polymer Clay Daily. Of course I wanted to give it my own twist, so instead of using regular opaque clay, I used a mix of translucent with a teeny bit of color added. What I ended up with was beads that looked like stones - perhaps rose and citrine quartz with a little jade thrown in? I mixed them with some pink shell chips and completed the piece with a duo of matching green Swarovskis and a copper toggle closure. I gave it as a gift to my mother who helped me with my taxes this year (again!). I think it came out really nice and I can't wait to make more...
