I made this duo as a bit of an experiment over the weekend and they turned out to be among my favorites from that firing. I made a white bodied bead and rolled it in a reduction frit. I reintroduced the bead to the flame and decrease the amount of oxygen in the flame. The frit reacts and develops a design and pattern all its own. I have made this type of bead before but this time I went on to encase it in clear glass. The over all technique is very straight forward but I loved it. It's not very challenging but offers a funky look and a unique quality to each bead.
The spring thaw was gorgeous this weekend and has continued on into a beautiful week. I hope everyone is having a great week as well.
