outside of watkins glen, ny, are the hector falls.
i was there over the weekend. the colors of the wet black shale, dry gray shale, moss and sparkling droplets of water inspired a small set of beads.
on a cylindrical base bead of black i placed a center ribbon of copper green, rolled the copper green in a blend of light tobacco and raku frits, then freeform mashed it into an oblong nugget.
then i added a water droplet of clear glass one each side and then 'embossed' the droplet with one of my favorite tools - a punch like thing for setting nails.
these were test beads - i think the next batch will be with avocado, or maybe pastel gray, instead of copper green.
