Now that I have solved the problems with the kiln paper, learning a lot more about heating times and temperatures not to mention how different coloured glasses react when heated I have been having a LOT of fun making beads and am averaging a few each night...
These adorable beads are all slightly smaller than a 5c coin so they are teeny tiny beadies.
The two pink ones are made from lilac glass and a gorgeous frit I have fallen in love with called Peacock.
The blue bead in the centre was made from blue glass and a Manifesto cane.
I loved the colour blend of the two pink beads so much that I made this larger bead. I have called this one Monet's Garden as the colours reminded me of one of his paintings.
And finally this one reminds me of an old tie dyed t-shirt. I had one in purples in my late teens and have to admit I wore that t-shirt until it fell apart... and even then I had to think about throwing it out...
.... perhaps I should make a purple tie dyed bead in memory of my t-shirt!
