A peek...

A peek into my little Paragon kiln at some beads about to be bisque fired. Not nearly a full "load" like I usually have, but still quite a few beads! There's a bangle on top of the pile for me. Just a "test" piece to see how durable it would be if I wear it every day along with my copper & silver stack. I rarely make anything for myself, but I do love my bangles! I'm still trying to decide what color I'm going to glaze it & how. I want some of the naked stoneware to show, plus that would make it much easier to fire. Hoping to get a glaze firing in tomorrow night so I can wake up to my "treasures" in the kiln on Monday morning.

That kiln looks so exciting! I love seeing your creative process here. I bet your bangle will be gorgeous.

Yes, I love that little kiln! It really is like Christmas morning every time I open it up! I'll be sure & post a picture of the finished bangle...
