Here's another batch of acorns... they just keep getting better & better. :o) The ones I have in line to be electroformed are probably even better! Colors, designs, etc... I love them. I think these are a bit more organic looking than the last ones. I'm excited about introducing them @ the Bead & Button Show...

I had someone ask me to make a red purple special heart w/ raku stringerwork similar to one I had made a while ago (it's probably in this blog somewhere, but definitely on my website)... it had been a while since I used that combination & ended up making 3 hearts (vertical holes) & loved them so much that I decided to do some lentils. Yes... that's raku, LOL, sometimes I get some color, sometimes not so much. Idealy it likes to be encased, but I don't encase much, so I get what I get. They still look awesome! And they're etched... my favorite look for red purple special. I had them @ my last two bead shows... they got lots of attention. It's such a rich color etched...
