Dichroic Glass Pendants!

Dichroic Glass Pendants!

Dichroic glass is reflective and gorgeous--It changes 

color depending on the angle you look at it!

I think it looks like galaxies, planets or nebula!

 These are stunning and make a fabulous necklace!
These ones require no cutting, so they are pretty simple.

 I used Fuseworks Glass Microwave Kiln!
**Read my full review from yesterday**

I was sent this Fuseworks Beginner's Fusing Kit from Diamond Tech!
It's about $100 at craft stores and less than $80 on amazon!

After playing with the pieces they sent me,
I hurried to buy another $60 worth of supplies at the craft store!
Dichroic glass is more expensive...but it is so pretty!

I got fancy at first.
I took 2 of the round pieces and used my glass cutter to cut them both in half.

I score the line.  (don't press too hard)
And then fold a cloth around it.
I use 2 sets of pliers...hold one as pictured below right by the score line.
Then I take the other pliers and pinch lightly on the other side...bend and pop!

Hopefully, if all goes well, a perfect cut!

I cut both pieces...

Stacked them on a plain black disk and

microwaved according to directions.

Super sparkly galaxy!

 For these 4...I used a dichroic glass piece uncut
and stacked a clear glass piece on top!
They look gorgeous and magnified!

This one I got pretty creative too...and did sort of a plus pattern.

I used lots of pieces of dichroic glass stacked on a big blue rectangle...

And they all turned out so pretty!
But what to do with them???

My beginner kit came with some jewelry findings.
I also had some pendant loops too.
And my trusty E6000...

And I just glued hardware to all the pieces!

Let them dry...and presto!
Ready for stunning jewelry!

Love this color-blocked arrowhead!

This cute pinwheel!

And of course, my favorite...
the Dichroic pendants!

Which one is your favorite???
