I Am Chiming In


In the class I took with Ruth Stoner from Glassics Design, she showed us how to make a beautiful glass chime. We started with a small, clear glass tile and put bits of pieces of glass onto it. Each piece was cleaned and glued down. Then we cut up to five, long pieces of glass to make the chimes. I like the number three so I cut three.
After the pieces were fused and cooled, they were washed and dried to remove the kiln shelf residue.
I learned how to drill a hole in the piece primary piece and I added jewelry holders to hang the chimes from. I used copper wire to hang the pieces and adorned them with beads I had at home.
I love the results.
