Hi,
I posted last week with a dilemma I was having regarding my newfound stained glass hobby. Well... after consulting a welder friend, the Internet, and some actual stained glass experts at the store where I get my glass, (plus a tad of practice) I got things figured out. Here are my results.

I have t tell you that I am the most proud of this craft than pretty much anything else I’ve done. Mostly because the learning curve had been so high. I’m just so garsh darned excited about this stuff!

Here’s a peek of what I made.


And here are a few other images. (Caution, these images are a bit big, so beware if you have dial-up.)
All of the charms I made are 2 sided. They’re assembled with lead-free solder.

Here’s my favourite one.


And here’s its back.


And here’s the rest of the ones I made tonight.
The fronts…


And the backs. :-)


I plan to make some of them into key chains and some into pendants. The pendants will probably be on black velvet ribbon. I just have to make it to the fabric store to get some.

So, are you as excited as I am?
I think I might take these to a consignment boutique to sell. Yay!
