In one of the lots of clay that I bought off of e-bay there was this wonderful sheet of clay that looked very much like an animal print.

I cut a large piece out of it and turned it into a barrette.  I am very pleased with the look.  I am sure that I can come close to reproducing the “print” or making something close so that I will be accenting other barrettes with it.  I also think that it would make some great looking beads.

Looking closely at the sheet, I am sure that it was made with transparent, gold and black clays.  I am also thinking of trying different colors to create different animal prints.
