Tiny beads ready for action

Out of the kiln and out of the tumbler.

The Pez beads have shrunk  about 12%.

The next step is to oxidize the beads to darken the recessed areas.

I did not oxidize the heishe beads, since only the edges will show and I want those to be bright.

After hand polishing the oxidized beads, the higher areas are bright silver. These beads are ready to go!
