It is 2nd Saturday at Beads of Clay and I am linking up to the post with these pics from my studio on Saturday, April 9. This pic above is of the Gauguin inspired flowers I am making. Here they are all glazed in my special mix of layers to create that intense tropical red I am hoping for. Actually now they are fired and some are in my Etsy shop and a pic of them together will be on my BTW post tomorrow.
On Saturday I also glazed these beads so that they would come out close to a denim blue. I am using some of these to make a bracelet for the 7000 Bracelets project and blog hop coordinated by Lori Anderson.
The blog hop is on Saturday April 16. I have finished my bracelet and the cool part is that everything part of it is handmade except for a bit of chain. Thank you to Sweet Bead Studio for the spiral clasp tut.
Wonderful beads Mary! I signed up for the 7000 bracelets then forgot to give Lori my details how dumb eh?! Maybe next time I will be included, but cant wait to see what everyone will do. I wish I had bought a kiln that I could of used for ceramics and the Lampwork together! People say you shouldnt use them for both but with a good vacumn my friend in Houston said she does and it works well...grrr. Your ceramics are so wonderful. Soon Im going to get a toggle or 2 from you..my husband keeps saying where is your money? lol.
