My first photo shows the finished pieces. After firing, they have tumbled for a day in stainless steel shot... adding shine and strength to the fine silver.
Or will I???? Maybe use a new piece of glass??? Hmmmm... have to think it through.

The Silver Pieces are Finished
Twenty eight pieces went into my kiln... twenty eight pieces came out. I was lucky this time - 27 pieces were good! That is not bad odds... but shows that even after doing this for years, mistakes do happen.

The second photo shows the broken piece. I must have wrapped the silver too tightly around the glass - the silver snapped! The glass also fractured... so I will not be able to re-do this one.
Or will I???? Maybe use a new piece of glass??? Hmmmm... have to think it through.

Nancy. I love these. Can you teach me to do this? I have been doing solder on my glass, but I want something sturdier and longer lasting. Let me know if you would do a class with me.
