A necklace of chunky papier mache nuggets. I handsculpted round beads in a simple pulp of newspaper and copy paper. I sanded facets onto them with my dremel sander, then painted several coats of metallic acrylic onto them to get them ready to string. Sealed with a water resistant sealant.
Measurements: beaded area: approx. 6.5in, ribbon: 31in (37.5in total)
(16.5cm beaded, 79cm ribbon, 95.5total)

Pretty cool; at first glance, I thought you had molded the shapes from Dungeons & Dragons polyhedral dice. Symmetry-wise, I think one more gold nugget, to even things out on each side of the darker, central nugget, would add to the piece's overall look.
