1.31.2018 - ... and so it goes....

OK, so - you KNOW that the transparent glass IS calling my name - right?  I was distracted this week by the fun of these sets.  It's a lighthearted take on a traditional cross... which can also be elegant and serious in glass...   These sets are ALL petite.  the rounds at LARGEST are 3/8"D.  So, it's a very delicate look and not much weight.  I've strung these temporarily for photographing them, but don't envision anything much more complicated for a final piece.  All the crosses - except the Pistachio colored one have only one hole - and will have a sterling bail epoxied into the hole... an unobtrusive one - just to allow securely attaching a soldered loop... then they can be threaded onto the stringing material 'quietly'.  

I've always been a creature of 'options'... and since most of these sets contain around 4 colors... I've shown the variety of choices one can have - AND the different looks you can achieve with different colors... 
I have to go build the update page - but wanted to show  you that I had taken a detour this week... and it was fun.  smiles, Jill (see below)....

I did get some time to create in transparent glass as well.... : )
