Dear Jerry,
During the Autumnal Equinox shadow and light are
equals. The sun is on its downward path towards
the Winter Solstice. The highlights and shadows
of Fall are reflected in, the burnt amber of the
trees. In a way the colors are festive with
their reds, yellows and browns. In other ways
they are somber as the greens of summer gives
way to the stark colors of winter.
In case you missed it the first day of fall was
Thursday, September 22, 2005.
Okay I sell beads, but I also do pottery as a
hobby. So I'm always looking for a way to
combine both of these. It would allow me to
write off much of my hobby, plus I would be
creating unique beads. I belong to one group on
the Internet called Beads-of-Clay. They have
lots of good advice for someone trying to create
beads from clay.
I am testing and trying different techniques. In
an effort to give back to the beading / ceramics
community some of what I have gotten, I am
offering up my experiments for the world to see.
Often when people think of clay beads they think
of Polymer Clay or PMC. This is NOT what I'm
doing. I am working with clays that are fired at
temperatures that can only be achieved in a kiln
Tumbled Heart Pendants - my first experiment
into the world of tumbled clay.
