Cindy, I love the stylized version of the ammonite shell. I have a few pieces with the real fossils, but would love to make some like these. I think they would look great with all sorts of metals. Thanks for your terrific instructions on so many wonderful techniques.

I would love to learn how to make these beads. I have all kinds of smaller shells that I could use with these beads but haven’t been motivated to use them until now.

@Mary Ellen: Those rollers are made for making linguine pasta noodles and they are an excellent idea for making strips of clay! Thank you so much for telling us about that!

@Carol: Thank you, I am thinking of it!

@Darinda: Thanks.. the light one is actually a bluish purple that is really pretty. The cool thing is these beads look great in any color!

@Adrienne: Thank you for your comment!

@Illaya: Thank you too!!

@Lupe: Thanks! I’ve seen the real fossil beads too and although they are gorgeous they are expensive. My version is a more stylized version. Cool looking and way less expensive!

@Peggy: I am hoping to put together the course soon! Thanks for commenting!

These look great! I would definitely like to learn how to make these. I come across the fossils at the GEM shows but they are so expensive to buy, so if I could learn to make little replicas that would be fantastic. There are also a nice focal bead to add to your earth tone style beads, I think.
Thanks,
Lupe
