Pollen Inspired Beads

"Under the Microscope" was the name of Natalia Garcia de Leaniz Clay Carnival Workshop in Las Vegas.  It was extremely satisfying to experiment while building my beads (above).  Natalia is inspired by pollen photographed while under the microscope.   Just so interesting to me how artists get inspired and then translate/interpret it into a piece of art.  Pollen.
You can see more of Natalia's work on her website (click HERE).

Yes, pollen! And I want to touch these! How did you achieve the texture?

It was such a fun workshop! They are polymer clay canes. I added some carving to mine. I'm still playing with the techniques she taught. Thank you Barbara.
