Fresh from the Kiln
This is what I've pulled out of the kiln in the past:
| March 16, 2006 This is a set I made by making a swirled stringer of red, black and ivory, and then putting random stripes and swirls of that stringer onto ivory beads. |
 |
| March 16, 2006 I'm taking a class in April, and I need to practice my stringer and dot control before then, so what better way to do it than making fun bumpy beads? |
 |
| March 16, 2006 I just picked up some 'dip and etch' from the Vinery, and played with etching beads today. Today has been a busy day. |
 |
| March 15, 2006 This is a bracelet I made from soda beads -- beads that I rolled in baking soda, then encased. The baking soda bubbles and fizzes, and when the glass cools, you have thousands of teeny tiny trapped air bubbles. |

| February 2, 2006 Made my first lampworked star, it measures a hair over 1 1/4" across. Also played with making hearts. Valentine's day IS approaching after all. |
|
| January 27, 2006 Played with making twisties today, which I'll use to embellish beads |

| January 10, 2006 More cows, plus a spring set I made several technicolor cows, then after I annealed them, I popped them into my pocket with a bunch of other beads and my keys to stress-test them. The ears popped off the red guy, but other than that, they survived just fine (well, unless you're a red cow). Next time I make them, I'll make extra sure the ears are on properly. |
