Hah! Thought that would get your attention! I've just spent a happy afternoon glueing the bails onto my first dozen pendants.

The thing is it took me hours, what with choosing which bail to use, which way up the dichroic ones looked best, filing the cabochons and the bails to key the surfaces, wiping off the excess glue, repositioning ...maybe I'll speed up when I get a bit of practice

I'm glad I'm not doing this to make a living - I'd have to charge double the going rate to break even!!

I'll post pictures if they come out okay. Am using a new glue, so fingers crossed. $:-\$

Sounds like me sawing jump rings last week - I said I would be charging £50 per jump ring if I were selling them!!!

OK here are my pics:

Yay! I've managed to make them 'clickable! Now I just have to practice
my photography, though dichroic glass is a bit tricky.

Marg x PS I used Evo-Stik Serious Glue. Gave it a good few tugs and okay so far.

Ooooh, they are lovely

I really like the ones with copper.. you''ve got a lovely colour from it!

Fank u very much. The horseshoe one is my fave at the moment. I like the
way the bubble appeared spontaneously.

Copper is funny, isn't it - sometimes it's red, sometimes a nice greeny-blue. I
like the surprise you get after firing.
