Did Somebody Say They Wanted to See Blue Eggs?

Well here they are!  :)

What do you think?  The two in the middle are lapis and the other five are cobalt.

I hadn't tried using cobalt yet, but I am loving the raku on it!  And the orange and red, too. 

I made the lapis eggs just in case the cobalt ones appeared so dark they would be black.  But they aren't too dark at all.  I LOVE them!

Check out Karyn's blog.  She made a lovely fused cabochon that perfectly matches some of my black eggs and bebe black beads with raku.  Go look!  I think the shape is way cool.  I know my kiln can fuse glass, but I have never tried it and wouldn't know the first step in what to do.  I wish Karyn were closer because I would crash her studio, but we're separated by a few oceans, thirteen time zones and one hemisphere.  Sigh.

Okay, you won me over! Blue is my weakness and now I may have to put my name on the list for some eggs! I will just hang on to it until I get better at the jewelry thing so I can do them justice!

Oh those blues are even more gorgeous than I had mentioned them in my little head...very very nice!

Thanks for mentioning my blog too.. I thought you'd like to see how well your beads go with my raku cab. I plan on beading around it to make a pendant and then stringing it with your beads!
