Oh, piece of cake! With the right master, I am a quick learner! Lump of clay, wet it down, stick those suckers on loading the beads on a needle or coat hanger.
Hey, if it proves too difficult, I could always cop out and do the very common "stick a broken mirror" all over it. Two colored ones for eyes. Got it covered. Funny, as my mother has a planter in the form of a huge duck on her porch (came from Mexico, of course) for the longest time. My sister and I are going to fight over that giant disco-ball looking sucker! It is an heirloom!
Ok, sorry to say that the party must end. Did a five mile run with hills today and, while all hot and sweaty, decided to run my computer over to the office where I got to doing a bit of prep work for tomorrow. That was hours ago and I think I must smell as Calvin won't come near me.
Always a pleasure, ladies. CYAlls laters!

Looks like all you need to do is design the pattern, set tiny beads onto a clay sculpture, and voila! Instant seller!!

I have another idea!! Why not make animals out of beads?Babies like these are getting pretty popular in those touristy beaches!!
