Faceted…Teardrop
Here is a piece of boro and I am in the process of faceting. The original glass was imploded Mighty Moss and gold and silver fume stretched into an egg shape. I have a bunch of marbles and stuff with surface issues I never got back to. Now to figure out how to make a bail. Any suggestions? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1a61c708a6.png Video: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm7YwzXn...=1qfeldxtyf440 |

Wow, I love all these beads. I'm just starting out with my torch. I've worked with fused glass for years and teach it at a not of profit studio in Southern California. I need to practice on the torch a LOT longer. :)

Well, adding a glass bail, that ship has sailed. There is wire wrapping or drilling a hole and glueing a bail on it (pictured). To me, this method is kind of unsightly because the mechanics of the connection is visible. I am just soliciting any other way to present it as a pendant.
This project is on hold because it takes two weeks to obtain supplies from HIS Glassworks. Why anything that takes two weeks to ship is a mystery to me. It reminds me of “Oh Brother Where Art Thow” where he want’s to buy Dapper Dan hair jelly, LOL. |
I finally got all the supplies to finish this. I am still wondering how to mount it. Drilling a hole kind of scares me.

Dave, that's so gorgeous and sparkly!

Wonderful! Curious to see how you would finish it
|
My mind just went to a wizards wand with a crystal in the handle...
So Beautiful!! |
Gorgeous! I don't know that I would even try for a bail. Just make a stand and enjoy it there.

I originally thought about it as a focal bead but one of my nieces suggested putting it on the end of a wand. I am not sure that would be that marketable though. |

Dave, You could do a "wand" as a shawl pin or hair stick. Beautiful by the way :)
The local yarn shop asked me if I could make them some. These are for a chunkier yarn. I'm doing some thiner for a tighter pattern with smaller gauge yarn. |
