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!!!

This is my most recent raku platter that was raku fired in my homemade raku kiln. I haven't decided if I am going to list it on my etsy website, http://www.makustudio.etsy.com/or sell it on consignment at Behind the Doors in Yarnell, AZ. If you are ever in Yarnell, be sure to stop by! Tell them "MAK" sent you!

I was featured in a blog!

So excited! I was featured in www.girl-indieblog.com. Lisa Bacon, "one of the chicks behind Girl Indie", featured my handmade raku "I love Etsy" magnet. She was in search of some great handmade items for the office. Thank you Lisa! Here is the magnet that she listed, but it would be great if you could check out her blog as well. I love making my little raku magnets! Clay is my passion!
