Microbes Can be an Inspiration Too

Throughout the worlds of art there are many examples of deriving inspiration from the world of microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses. These small organisms form beautiful structures either by themselves or when they form multicellular colonies.

I came across the picture on the left in a popular science journal The image shows a cross-section of a virus and I thought that it may look interesting as a necklace. The photo on the left shows the end result -- the "Virus Necklace" executed in sterling silver with the cobalt sea glass.
