Since 1988 Joyce Fritz has been creating colorful polymer clay bugs. She uses millefiori, an ancient glassworking technique, adapted to modern materials. Some designs are based on real insects, while others are her own invention. Her whimsical bugs take on the form of tie tacks, necklaces, pins and earrings.  This cicada brooch is approximately 2" by 1.25" in size. It is made of polymer clay, recycled telephone wire, and glass beads
