1. Select scrap clay. I use bits left over from canes, sculptures, and other projects. My only concern is that the colors complement each other.
2. Push scraps together and roll
into a rough football shape.
3. Flatten slightly with a brayer.
4. Refine shape if necessary.

5. Holding the "points" of the
focal bead in your fingertips, twist hands in opposing directions.
6. If you wish, cover the outer
edge of the focal bead with a strip of clay in a solid color. You can skip this
step, and (after baking) paint the edge with a foil pen.
7. Bake per clay directions. Sand and buff. If you didn't cover the
edge with clay, now is the time to paint with a foil pen. After applying the
edging, seal the edge. I used Flecto Varathane for this. And you're done!
