Bead Passion!

I have been working on a custom project for a customer who wanted to get both her daughters ornaments with their college/university colors: Syracuse and Marist. I did extensive research on both institutions and wanted to come up with something unique and fun to honor their time in school. After hours, and I mean hours, of google searches, I came aross a woman in the Phillipines who does custom polymer clay beads! I emailed her a photo of what I wanted and POOF it was done in a day and was perfect. It was a whimsical "Otto," the Syracuse mascot. Pictures to come (once the ornaments are delivered).

Check out her other work at http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6126007!! Tell Helen, Mandy sent you!!!!
