My final beads were inspired by a fictional culture that surrounded itself around life, and life forms, from a scientific perspective and genetic stand point. The beads represent the conjoining of two strands of DNA. The color progression from one end of the currency spectrum to the other, signifies both the joining and the currency value. Starting from the purple, black and white beads eventually leading up to the green, black and white beads, the value increases.
I enjoyed this project, and I feel like with a little bit more work, my torch skills will allow me to manipulate the material exactly how I want to.
