2 Times in One Day!

Today was a good day! I got on the front page of Etsy 2 times in one day! How exciting!!! I haven't been able to find the other screen shot yet, but will be sure to post it when I do! Both the "Black Petals" raku pendant and the "Black Daisy" raku magnet sold right away! Thanks so much to XENOTEES and catROCKS for placing my raku pieces in their amazing treasuries!!!

"White Icing" Raku Bead/Pendant

Here's one of my latest creations! A simple, classic donut style with a textured pattern and white crackle glaze. Fired in my homemade raku kiln...of course! What really makes this raku bead stand out though, is the hand dyed fuschia silk ribbon that I have paired it with. The ribbon is the handy goodness of Heidi of Jamnglass. Heidi makes fabulous glass beads as well as a myriad of hand dyed silk ribbons which she also stitches herself. What talent! Make sure to also check out her Etsy shop when you get the chance. You can find this raku pendant featured on her website www.Jamnglass.com. Thanks Heidi!
