So these are the beads that I made and I am so excited about them. Now I need to figure out what I want to make with them. They aren't exactly the same size, so I don't think I can turn them into earrings. I think I'll make a bracelet and pendant with all of the bright colored ones. My favorite ones are the two white ones in the back with the brown specs. The process of making the speckled beads is fun. First you make the solid color bead, then you role the bead into crushed glass (frit)....then you reheat the bead to melt the glass into it and voila! I love love love the frit stuff...it is magical! The tuxedo looking bead was pretty neat to make too. This class was so much fun...the best part about it is you get to see instant results of what you are making. It is so much fun to play with fire!
