Ok, I bought some glass from my ceramic supplier about 6 months ago ... and yes it's another thing that got put in the cupboard and never surfaced again. I bought it because I'd seen so many beautiful pendants made from glass and would like to make a few different ones for myself that I can change depending upon what I'm wearing.
Now I really want to have a go, but I have a few questions first and was wondering if one of you wonderful glass workers could help me.
Bat Wash - I have bat wash on my shelves that I use for ceramics, is this the same as the bat wash that is used for glass as I have a small amount of this too. If it is different, what do I do with it?
Does the glass need sanding / smoothing afterwards - if so what is best to use for this?
Do you place a loop in the middle of the glass for hanging or glue one on afterwards. Any ideas where I can get some fireable ones?
Do you use spe******t glass or could I use any coloured glass?
Any other helps / tips / suggestions greatly appreciated.
