Dragon Wheels...

Here are some polymer clay beads that I recently made.  I call them, "Dragon Wheels".  I've textured these flattened rondelles with a bumpy, reptilian pattern.  I used gold-colored clay and worked some bright green Vintaj Patinas in the recessed areas to accentuate the scale-like details.  I then highlighted the raised areas with Inca Gold Gilder's Paste.  They remind me of some ancient currency from a long-lost civilization.
