When I really like a piece, I would love to know more about its composition and process.  I really like this.  What are the keys made of?  How are the held in the bracelet?  What is the bracelet made of?

Thanks John. The entire piece is made from polymer clay.  Each white and black key is hand cut using a blade and placed on a black background of polymer clay. After it's built it gets baked and then glazed. The keys just stick to the background during baking, no glue or anything is used. I've made a few of these now as well as some mini guitars and I am selling them at a shop here in Kingston Ontario:)
