I am in a quandary because I don’t know what to call these types of beads I’ve been making. I roll them in my hands. I apply a sprig of clay. Sometimes I use stoneware clay. Othertimes I use porcelain. Sometimes I combine the two. I pierce them. It’s fun. It’s relaxing. I have to use ‘granny glasses’ to see what I’m doing.
The applying of under and over glazes is done after a bisque firing. The last batch I glazed has a transparent green instead of a transparent red. I will post pictures of those in the next day or two.
At the moment I’m trying to get caught up with other projects. I keep saying, “I’m almost caught up …”

I like these…the result is a more natural. earthy look. almost rustic. Well no wonder I am drawn to them. Natalie your designs just keep getting better.
Thank you, Cindi! 🙂
