Faux Wood

Rainy day in normally sunny California.  Rained yesterday, raining today.  Great weekend to play with some clay.  I picked out some colors in gold and brown, made a few canes, sliced them up, and here is the outcome:  faux wood.  

I think this looks great!  Definitely will use these beads to make a necklace.  I bet translucent, pearl and turquoise would also make some beautiful results.  I will definitely try those colors next time.
