My excitement about the beads I had made during Saturday’s torch session was soon squashed when I cracked the kiln Sunday morning and pulled out some butt ugly beads. :[
I had used totally different combinations of colours in most of the beads I had made that day and I should have known better not to make a whole batch of beads with new colour combinations without first testing their reactions to each other. *slaps self wildly around the head with a cat o’ nine wet noodles* and writes note to self….. ~~ Self!… Yooooou IDIOT!!!~~
Here are three beads that I was able to salvage from the rest of the muddy looking bunch.
And *gasp* five beads didn’t make the cut and are heading for the bin as soon as I pull them from the mandrels. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!
Thankfully it is very very rare that this happens because most days when I am torchin’ my brain is also engaged in the activity…. not last Saturday though it seems.
