Outside My Comfort Zone


Its always interesting to shake things up and work outside your comfort zone. Working with colors, styles, shapes that aren't necessarily "you" has the potential of opening doors to new ways that grow to become YOU. I've been doing just that and my first trial bead is kind of interesting to me. Primarily neutral, what I call subtle with an organic textural feel are the ways I would describe the bead. I used a few reactive glasses which really helped in the loose "happenings" approach I wanted to take. I enjoyed making this first bead so much that I continued with this experiment yesterday and anxiously await this mornings kiln opening! As you can probably guess, these beads have multiple views but I've only chosen to show one...they are very intreguing to me but WOW are they different for me.....










I'd love to hear what you think about my step outside my box. Its a whole different way of working....
