This is a great project. I've just purchased some clay to start experimenting with, and seeing your beautiful project is an inspiration!

I've used armatures to dry clay shapes on as per Linda Kay Moses' Sea Stone Pendant. I have been experimenting with earthenware and porcelain hollow lentil beads,and I use my husband's golf balls to dry textured circles until leatherhard. Then I score the edges and slip together. The result is large ceramic beads which are surprisingly light and great to use in pieces. Using armatures is not just limited to precious metal clay, and really, one does not need expensive tools to be creative. I doubt my husband would agree though, he is always complaining his golf balls are missing from his caddy.

Is the ink used to stamp the beads special for this kind of project, or can I use rubber stamping inks?
