A tiny metal bee (actually a JHB International button with the shank cut off), lives upon a polymer clay "thistle." This is a piece I started with another intention, but I saw another potential for the formation that resembled a thistle flower in my imagination. Of course the colors are not what you'd find in a natural thistle, nor is the formation identical. That's the beauty of artistic license. Millefiori leaf slices are set at an angle along the upper edge of the rim with a textured carmel colored base underneath.
