Beadsoup

I really hate cleaning my beads. But it is a part of the process, not a funny one, but a part of.

The last days I spent much time at the torch and this means, I have a big bunch of beads that is waiting to be cleaned. 

At first of the cleaning process I make a lovely "beadsoup".

This  loosens the beadrelease in the holes. After some time the hot water is muddy and looks not good at all. But it is worth it.

The next step is the dremel tool with a diamond bit. I use it under water, so it is longer useable. The negative part of it is, that my fingers are under water too. After an hour or so, they begin to shrinkle. But again, this is worth it.

Now I am off to make some more "beadsoup"!
