Into the Fire

I've been working with fire again, but this time with a purpose in mind - making rings and connectors for a bracelet and then perhaps earrings if the looks of it are good.  I've experimented with where to hold the wire in the flame to achieve various colourations

Here is the start of the bead that will form on the end of the wire

You can see the bead has form on the end.  It is actually bright red.

Here it is just after moving out of the flame

These are the rings I hand formed from the wires and made connecting rings to hold them together.  The wires actually show a rainbow of colour between the two dark ends.
