Inked Beads



It took over a month of trial and error before I made this technique work. The technique itself is quite simple and really rather soothing. Watching colors blend is a joy. Yeah, sometimes some truly horrendous mixing happens but it's all in good fun. I'm so pleased with this series, I think that I could spend the rest of my life just making this type of bead.

  3. I have worked a lot with inks in the past although my technique gives a more mottled look. I am intrigued by the striated appearance of your pieces. Very nice.
