Spacer Beads

February 5th, 2010 by admin

spacer beadsgroup beadsHere are the spacer beads I made, again with the not-likely-to-be-realized idea that I might actually string these into a necklace or something. I made them four at a time, and made them as small as I could. They are approximately 3/8 inches in diameter.

The other picture is all the beads, before they’d been removed from the mandrels. The white stuff is bead release.

Blue and White Beads

February 1st, 2010 by admin

blue and white beadsThese are the beads I did after lunch, figuring that now I could try a different technique using different colors.  I didn’t make as many after lunch. For this I mostly used dots and masking.  My dots are not placed very well, because I don’t have the muscle control sufficient to hold my hands in front of me that steadily for that many hours.

These are also approximately 3/4 inch in diameter.

Black and Turquoise beads

January 28th, 2010 by admin

black and turquoise beadsI took a beadmaking class in December, and got my beads back recently.  We were working on stringer techniques, so I tried to use the same simple techniques with the same colors figuring that it was A. good practice and B. might make enough beads for a piece of jewelry. I rarely string my beads, as I don’t care for that sort of jewelry.

Raku Woman

This is a piece I did in high school.  It’s raku fired, which accounts for the carbon trappings.  The piece is merely a cylinder of clay, altered to make it interesting, with a loop like a handle on top.  I really love this piece, and tried to duplicate it in 2003 without much success.  I decided to photograph this because I was experimenting with lighting techniques and needed a subject.

White Slip Weed Cup 2

January 16th, 2010 by admin

white slip weed cup 2

This is the largest of all six of this series, and can hold maybe sixteen ounces.  It has a couple dots of blue glaze that got on there by mistake, but it’s still one of my favorite drinking vessels now.
