This is a simple stained glass picture necklace. Great for giving or selling...
If you do plan to sell some, talk with your local bead store owners and work out an agreement. For something this size, expect to get $6 a piece. A good way to come up with a price would be to ask the owner what he/she would sell it for, and cut it in half (50 50). Also use local pictures if you live in a tourist town. Good $$ to fuel your projects!
Oh, and don't kill yourself with the soldering iron.

Steined glass? I have a question: I have come to own about 10 rolls of lead came and about $200 worth of colored glass sheets (bought in the 1970's by some relatives, and stored unused in the basement). I want to make steined glass, but I don't know if the lead came is safe. What do you think?
Good irons are NOT cheap!!! Not at my house...
Yes I think the came will be just fine! Be sure to stretch it before use. Have you taken a class in stained glass....would be advisable!
Looks like the Avatar?
wanted to let you know that this 'fancy loop thing' is called a 'bale' :)
thanks!
If you ever need anything in this 'ible, or need any assistance, I would love to help you!
When I started making stuff with in, it got ALL OVER my desk. Now when it gets dark, my desk lights up like the forests in Pandora... except messier.
i bought the aqua and the green. Aqua is the coolest because it's the same shade as the Na'vi's face glow-dots.
