Fun with clay

[detholalle.livejournal.com]

Ever since I got that clay set on...whatever day it was last week, I have been trying to come up with bead ideas. My boyfriend was over last night and he started to play with a bit of my scrap clay and he made a cute little snake. I then got the idea in my head that I could make a snake that looks like it is all coiled up around a head pin and wear it as a fun little pendent. This is what I came up with:

It looks a lot darker, but the flash on the camera made it a bit brighter. Now my only problem is that I am afraid to wear it because I don't want to break off the tounge. But I have dropped it like three or four times since it came out of the oven, and it hasn't broken yet... ::knock on wood::
