Beads Coming Soon!

I finally have pics of all the beads I made last week and over the weekend.

Loving the dark outline around this delicate pink against this gentle seafoam green.

Still one of my favorite glasses that mixes these two colors.

More delicate pink on a darker green.  But no cool outline where the colors meet.

I am loving this translucent yellow.  They are almost milky in person.

Raku on black.  Lots of greens that came out of this batch.

Sweet pinks.  Has been too long since I used this garden frit with anything.  It was one of the first frit blends I purchased years ago and remains one of my favorites.

Silvered ivory spirals on ivory.  Love the crackling and the occasional dot of silver raised to the surface.

Bright speckles on black.

Did you notice I was on a bit of a nugget kick?  The smashing was therapeutic for me :)  I love the peach tint in the clear glass between the white wisps spiraling through these beads.

I thought the seafoam green glass needed its own set with no distractions.

The yellows were more brown when they went into the kiln, so I was excited putting them in and a little disappointed pulling them out.  Still a cool combo, but not what I was expecting.  What do you think of these?

Ivory spacers that are all a little bottom heavy.

A bunch of headpins got made and there will be more made this week.  Hoping to have them all ready by Saturday to list at least five new sets.

I also made a bunch of new focals, but will save those pics for tomorrow.

That is all for now.  Back to your regularly scheduled programming!

Nice new beads! I really like the pink ones, and the black with raku and the ivory spirals - -Mmmmmmmmm yummy!
The ones that were brown going in, but look more yellow coming out of the kiln are nice. I like them (since you asked)
And ooooooh, the headpins!
