New Stoneware Pendants What are all those brown specks?

Thistle Pendant produced from speckled stoneware ceramic clay.  It was by prospect that I utilized this speckled clay to make some pendants and toggle clasps with.  In truth I did not even seriously know that it was speckled.  When I opened the kiln and bought these parts out I assumed that they looked darker than normal.   When I seemed extra intently I noticed the darkish specks.  At very first I was not confident if I liked them.  That sort of uncertainty when a single very first opens the kiln is not strange.  It requires some fantastic daylight and time to thoroughly see what you have considering the fact that anticipations definitely do coloration your vision at very first.  I was not anticipating the speckles so what  I was seeing was these parts as they ought to have been and was a little bit unhappy. A several hrs later I had transformed my intellect.  I could see  how beautifully the dim specks were being interacting with the other shades in the pendants. I determined they were being terrific–they reminded me of raku perform that has had sawdust thrown on it. So I listed all of these in my Etsy store.  It a few of days they had been all Marketed except for the Wild Grass Pendants.
