Terracotta Beads

Is This Awesome, Or What?

Sometimes, I wonder where my brain is? I know, it's in my head, but sometimes I think it's floating in the clouds, okay, I digress.  So, what am I talking about? Terracotta jewelry. Yes, terracotta-good ol' baked clay.

Sure, clay beads have been around for centuries, and, of course, you have the terracotta pots so coveted by gardeners; however, terracotta jewelry?

Why not?  The material can be shaped and painted upon to make some stunning pieces, or left in it's natural colour-which is so pretty. Of course, India offers some extraordiary examples of terracotta beadery.

My only worry is if I drop the jewelry-let's face it, I am clumsy-it would break my heart to see my jewelry shatter-and the glued together look isn't too flattering. 

Looks like it's left in it's natural 

colour and sealed

Ok, I really would love to have this piece!
