Bead Table Wednesday New Stoneware Beads
This Wednesday I added this picture of my new stoneware beads to the Bead Table Wednesday Flickr! Group. I have been having a great time exploring stoneware ceramic clay finishes. On my table are beads glazed with a Cone6 Coyote Glaze ( those are the slightly shiny ones) and the teal stained and tumbled finished disk beads. I had to mix two stain colors to get this color since I am out of my favorite teal stain and can't seem to find it anywhere. I just love how these colors go with that Ornamentea brass chain in the background. I am hoping to try out some more Coyote glazes on beads tomorrow with my button and glazing buddy Cait Throop ( BarefootWeaver). We are having such fun discovering the range of colors possible with these incredible glazes.
