Fabulous Handmade Necklaces with Raku Ceramic Focal Beads

Wow! I love these creations! These lovely necklaces were handmade by Sherry of melangeatrois. Make sure to visit here Etsy shop of unique jewelry! Sherry used my raku pendants as the focal beads and added her own unique touch creating a one of a kind piece of art! Beautiful! Thanks so much Sherry for sharing them with me.

"White Icing" Raku Bead/Pendant

Here's one of my latest creations! A simple, classic donut style with a textured pattern and white crackle glaze. Fired in my homemade raku kiln...of course! What really makes this raku bead stand out though, is the hand dyed fuschia silk ribbon that I have paired it with. The ribbon is the handy goodness of Heidi of Jamnglass. Heidi makes fabulous glass beads as well as a myriad of hand dyed silk ribbons which she also stitches herself. What talent! Make sure to also check out her Etsy shop when you get the chance. You can find this raku pendant featured on her website www.Jamnglass.com. Thanks Heidi!

Raku Beads

Here are some of my latest raku bead creations! Handmade by me, Marianne "MAK" Kasparian. They are all meticulously sanded, fired, glazed and fired again! I fired these in my homemade raku kiln. Some of these will be going out for a custom wholesale bead supply order to New Jersey. A talented glass artist and jewelry designer is incorporating the beads into her designs. Check out her website when you get the chance! I'll be adding more raku beads and pendants to my Etsy website very soon! Check back often!!!
