These earthenware beads are made out of a clay called, "Toas Red". The clay body peeks out from underneath the glaze. I love this combination!I turned the beads on the strand so each side could be seen. Click on the other photo to get a better close up of each bead.
The focal bead is 25 mm x 17 mm (at its widest). It is 10 mm thick. From hole to hole it is 14 mm. The holes are 2 mm, and I do take special care when forming the beads that each hole is smooth (like lampworkers do with their glass beads).The other beads vary from 14 mm to 16 mm.
These beads were fired at Cone 06.
