Well – right now I’m waiting for a kiln firing to cool down. It’s actually a fire polishing, but I also have a completed set for a first firing. This is good, I need more pieces to work with.
It’s been a long time coming but I’m actually making progress. I also have a number of pieces to post here that I’ve gotten photographed. All good things, now – to go shopping for more findings.
Couple hours later :
Just fished wire wrapping a couple of pieces, and the wire decided to be obstinate. I really hate when that happens – however I am pleased with the final results. The set of glass for a first firing is in cool down phase. They look pretty good too…makes me happy.
Below are a bunch of my glass cabs – sorted after firing into the type of jewelry I plan to make. I generally sort by fancy wire wrap, wire wrap with edge groove, bail with glue pad, earrings, and the ever popular not sure yet pile.
