A Perfect Twist

Step 6Now what to do with the wire.....

Now what to do with the wire.....
 Someone asked me to post something I use the wire for.  I have been really busy with family matters lately, but I did get a chance to get out into the shop and put together a few things.  For a couple of them, I used some twisted wire.  This is just one of the ways I used some of it.
I bent the wire to form a treble clef, and the letter S to make a glass heart for my niece who loves music.  I added the pieces to a "pickle" in order to clean them and help stop any oxidation of the metal during the firing process of the kiln.
I collected a large number of various pieces of COE 96 glass, and put them in a porcelain heart mold.  I added the wire pieces and covered it with clear COE 96 glass.  I fused it (and there will be an instructable to come on glass fusing when I get things caught up here).  The result was the piece you see.
