Brr it's cold out...but my kiln is hot.

This is the time of year I get to play and make new color combinations and try new things, because I have time and no one is waiting for anything.  Here are some pictures of some things I have done during play time.
The round ones are hollow beads and then they have been acid etched to remove the shine.  This also makes them lighter on the necklace.  I am also having fun adding my own metal smithing to the pieces I am making.
