Following the chain reaction....And Finding Aliens

I landed here at Barbara Forbes-Lyons Site. She had a Tut on doing Mokume Gane the Lazy Womans Way...LOL....
After extruding all the cane toss it, squeeze it and roll it . When done it should look like Mokume Gane- sorta...
TADA..............
Yea, I know you can't see it all that well. Here is a slice of it, slightly stretched.


Here is a bead.

The bead with the strectched slice, it looks more like swirls at this point.


I also covered some eggs with the extruded cane, But I was not feeling it when they came out of the oven. On a good note I was not so frustrated by air pockets when i wrapped my eggs in this fashion, or by sliding cane. Can ya tell I have frustration doing the eggs? I am going to try embellishing them with some seed beads, or maybe rhinestones or crystals to cover the bad spots ( uneven fill ins)

Now the next question is, what do you get when you take a bored 12 yr old, a lump of kiddy clay, 2 glass marbles, and a broken fuschia beaded necklace?..................

A Few Piccys

Got some cam shots of a couple of things. Mostly yesterdays stuff.

I saw this Tut on Raku, It is like a Faux metalgury ( the only description I can make of it.) The pics are bad and I dont have the patience to try again with the crappy webcam.
I took some Black and made a rectangle bead, then I pounced it lightly with some nylon netting ( the type that marbles come in ) then I lightly picked up some pearlex copper and a couple of other colors on my finger and just dabbed once , twice, three times...NO RUBBING, Just a quick dab to get in the cracks. I need to get more info on this and see if it is right.


My Sunflower vase I did last week.... Another Bottle I liked...My daughter wants to give this to her teacher for end of year gift...Better get busy sanding this puppy.
I had some black and white scraps so I twisted them together and made a rope then rolled it out (Coiled) and brought it back in. As I was twisting it kind of braided together so I baked it as it was..It Looks cool.
My Black and White jellyroll that I reduced, and mutiplied.
B&W Hydrangea....Still needs Practice , but improving.
My Attempt at Mokume cane Pendants.....Hmmmmmmm
