Sneak Peek of My Weekend Beads

Here is the first kiln load from yesterday morning and last night.  

I thought I was done with nuggets, but I took off in a new direction with sparkly golden cores.  I can't wait to finish cleaning the batch I made today so I can etch half of them and then get them listed!
 

This is my favorite focal bead from last night.  I only used Double Helix Ekho on ivory.  This glass has a very high silver content, which caused all the dark veining over every bit of the ivory.

The effect is really gorgeous Kelley ! Double Helix loves ivory.

I love that one too! Reminds me of a sulphur spring. Those green/gold nuggets are gorgeous too! Do those have the sparkles in them? Really mysterious sort of look to them.

Thanks everyone :)

Keirsten, the gold sparkles you see are from the gold aventurine I wrapped around the white core before encasing. That's my new direction for nuggets. I still have a sink full of beads I need to clean, but don't think I'll get to photograph them before we leave on vacation. We're sposed to get rain the rest of the week. boo hiss
