Ceramic Beads

When I first started beading I started with glass beads.  It is strange, but I could not make anything that was remotely pretty.  Then I found stones, pearls, crystals, and silver.  I could not stop.  I would bead all night long, until the we hours of the morning.  I was in heaven on earth. 

Just recently I have discovered ceramic beads and a recycled glass.  They have so much character & fun to play & bead with.  What are your thoughts?
