Fire and Ice pendant

 

This is what can happen when I sit with my stash of MAKU ceramic goodies.  I adore her ceramics, because I adore raku colors and her rustic forms.  The sprinkles of silver just add to the magic and for me make them a natural for a silver setting.

Here's one that doesn't have the silver, but oh how I love its shape and colors and how it adds so much to this Plume Agate pendant:

I still have many precious pieces of MAKU to introduce by way of unique jewelry, but I can't wait to go to her booth at Bead and Button this June to see what new magic she's created!
