Playing with my Beads

I have been having a great time playing with my beads making bracelets. I am using copper wire for linking together the beads and a larger gauge that I bang on with my little hammer and anvil to make the clasps. I also have been using some lovely glass beads that I got in a mix, I think they look nice with my ceramic beads and charms. So this is what I am doing in my evenings after Rakuing all day!

Here is Saturdays batch of Raku. Wow it has been so much fun experimenting with the different glazes. I am very pleased with the results and I think this is the direction I am going to go with my ceramics. I am working so many new designs at the moment that I can't wait to get them all out. Right now I am working on more hearts and a some ocean themed beads. I have been hand working all of them so none are the same.

I have more pictures!
