When I was sorting through my stash of glass — some collected, some gifted — I found this purple cup. It was such an unusual piece, with its mix of colours and swirly pattern, I just had to see what would happen when I put it in the flame.
Would it keep that swirl? Would the purple stay vibrant? I couldn’t wait to peek inside the kiln — and it did! The beads kept that streaky finish and the purple stayed so bright. Who would have thought a $2 cup could turn into such pretty beads? 💜
Have you got anything in your collection that you might like to turn into beads?
