Wondering about raku in a tiny enameling kiln

Since I make jewelry and am also a potter, it's inevitable that I one
day try to make pendants of raku. Never mind I've never made one single
thing using the raku process. But I have a lot of friends who have, and
I think it's amazing. So fascinating, this process. I'll add some liks
here soon, that teach more about the process. And how raku differs from
other pottery and other clay-art.
One main consideration is that raku is not safe for food. You can't
have raku dishes. Too bad, cause it's so beautiful. But how perfect for
accessories! You don't need to be able to eat off a pendant or from
earrings, nor do they need to be able to hold water.
