New Beads!

Here are all of the beads going into the shop tomorrow night after I get my kidlets tucked into bed.  I have other news to share about our family expanding and Little Horse as he moves through his heartworm treatment, but I need a few more days to process the vet visit from yesterday.  

I promise, I will catch you up next week.  Maybe.  I shouldn't make promises when I've been such a shoddy blogger and bead maker over the last two months. 

So.

Without further ado.  Here are the latest beads.

Raku on ochre.

Raku on black.  Because I know you all lurve these.

Coral on blue grey.

Amber and purple tablets.  Once I started mixing transparents and using my smashers, I couldn't stop myself!

A mixed set.

More raku, this time on a pale lavender.

Dark topaz and teal.

Amber spacers.  They can be etched for a sea glass effect if you want. :)

Medium topaz and teal.

And light topaz and teal.  I was just loving this color comb so much I had to try every shade!

Ivory spacers that are a bit more crackly that what you can see in this photograph.

And lastly, light green with teal.  

I loved working with the transparents and even more in using my smashers to make the tablet shapes.  But the transparents are a real bear to clean because every speck of bead release must be removed so it will not be seen in the hole tunnel.  It may be awhile before I come back to this design, so grab em up fast tomorrow night!

I am hoping to find torch time next week and will be focusing on eggs again.  I won't be doing custom orders this time around, but will be making multiple sets to drop in my shop for the next update.
