A Bounty of Textures - Courtesy of Mother Nature - Part 1

I may be beating a dead horse for the more seasoned polymer clay/metal clay/ceramic clay artists, but for the newbies who are tired of using the same old textures that everyone else has - look no further than your front yard!

This is the first in a multi-part series of using found objects in your jewelry designs. Next week, I'll show examples of how you can incorporate these awesome textures into your work. Your homework for this week is to really look at your surroundings. Look for texture in everything!
