Raku-in demand and apparently hiding...

[traci1753]

I use mostly lampwork beads and occasionally polymer clay pieces, however lately I have had several people requesting Raku clay beads. I have several types of buttons that I use but would like to meet a "need". Any ideas where I can find any Raku beads?Traci1753

Hi Traci~
I did an eBay search and came up with the following...

I hope that helps you some. Good luck~

Well, at least now I can be more specific...I think I mean ceramic and not glazed. Any more ideas out there?
Thanks Traci1753

Wow, that was a very interesting site. It would be grand to visit there. I'm concetrating on Raku beads that are ceramic and earth tones. The kind that are made under ground with hot coals and dirt/sand or compost thrown on top and left to bake for several hours.
