CORAL & RAKU
Gitte Coral Raku
Birgitte Martin sent in this wonderful colour combination of Coral and Raku

Brigitte said "I used standard Black, clear glass, Raku and Raku and Black twisties, and Coral La Mesa.  The Coral la Mesa is perfect as it gives variegated shades of coral rather than a flat even shade. Raku frit is another option.  

Thanks Birgitte!
