Pretty glass things
Follow the link to see pictures of the 5 glass pendants I made this past weekend :)
This first one is my favorite, and I'll probably wear this most often. Black glass backdrop with dichro shards, melted enough for them to still feel bumpy.
Next, and I know the lighting isn't great, is a piece with a slightly purple-tinted backdrop, then a copper maple leaf cutout, strands of aquamarine glass (which is sparkly, but you can't see it in this pic), and then topped with clear glass to make it all smooth.
This is the italian glass piece I made (the others being American). The backdrop is transparent orange on which I placed various beads and a turquoise glass squiggle in the middle. That squiggle expanded like crazy, but I like the piece.
This one (again, sorry for the bad lighting), is another copper maple leaf and a regular-shaped copper leaf cutout on an opaque green backdrop with aquamarine, blue, and red strands. Originally, the green backdrop had white lines going through it, but I guess they disappeared in the melting process :(
Finally, this little piece is similar to the first one. I definitely like the dichro pieces best.
