Default Electroformed Glass Cabochon Pendants Tutorial

I finally got my tutorial listed in my Etsy shop!

37 pages and 74 photos on creating off-mandrel cabochons (both hard and soft) as well as assembling and electroforming the pendants. This is not a step by step tutorial on basic electroforming, but rather using that process to create a pendant. If someone is interested, but does not own the set-up, Glass Diversions is one source for a kit.

I was the glass maker/author/photographer (taking one's own pictures WHILE working the glass is hard ) and DH was the "editor". I think he took his job too seriously....at one point I informed him that if he picked up that pen one more time I was NOT going to be held responsible for the condition of his pen-holding fingers Not to worry, they're still in good shape

I almost forgot!!!! Just in case you are interested...here's a link to my Etsy Shop http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5123636

I'd love to see some pics of things people have been making with this tutorial. I have the setup and my own cabs but have been too chicken to try this yet.

Thanks Leslie! I've been dragging my feet on this forever. Figured if I waited long enough Kim would just fly down here and make me do it.

Buuuut since she hasn't showed up yet I guess I'm on my own.

Thanks all!! Feminie...what a nice description, thank you!!
Melodie, be careful what you wish for....you may just end up with a visitor. But we both know, it would NEVER be in the summer And I'd LOVE to see your cabs in your own creations. I know you have all the goodies to make them, now I want to see the goods

This is a FAB tutorial Kim!
And people if you were having trouble with implosions this is the best explanation of how to do one that I have seen anywhere! I could tell reading the tut that Kim used to teach third graders!
Her instructions are fool proof!

Blushing here, Paula One thing I was very good at (if I can say so myself) was task analysis BTW, I just put a trio of some filigrees into my supply shop (like the ones I used in my Solar Flares pendant).
