Ooooppps!

I spent hours making beautiful large round, partly hollow beads. I'm expecting some blue chalcedony in the mail and I was so happy I had finished these beads and would be able to work on the necklace when my stones arrived. Then, I noticed my kiln controller was malfunctioning and the kiln was actually WAY hotter that it was supposed to be. I opened the door to find my beautiful beads in puddles! It's so sad, but I'm just grateful I caught it before we left the house. I have to admit they are kinda cool looking. So now, I'm off to test the kiln, and make sure it's working right and then I'm going to make the exact same beads I made yesterday!
