Thought I'd share a picture of my birthday present this year. This is my new Paragon kiln. This kiln will be dedicated to ceramics only since my other Paragon kiln is used just for lampworking since it has a lampworking door. I've been worried that using the lampworking kiln for ceramics might overwork the kiln and break right before some big show. That's how these things always happen. I got the kiln last week but it had some special electrical needs of which I know nothing about. My hubby was out of town last week so I had to wait until today to get it up and running. I made a small amount of beads to try out just in case somethings off. I made some more lampwork floral beads and finished three of the viking knit sets which are now listed on Etsy.
This is my test run. Finger's crossed!
This is a sample of what you can make with the Viking Knit Sets. After making this bracelet I realized that I would only use three rondelle shaped beads when I made it again. You can just adjust the length by using a longer viking knit if you need it longer. The kit includes only three rondelles but if you want four I can do a reserved listing for any additional ones you need.
Enjoy your day,
Raida

Congrats on the new kiln. They're so fun. Lovely beads and I really like the way you used them in the Viking knit. That's something I don't know how to do, but I love the look.
