I need some help. If anyone can tell me.
There is an art show coming up and I've been making some icicles for the first time. I am using boro but have never worked with boro before. As the little container of the ones I have made tipped over, I lost 4 of the loops at the top. So.. most likely they weren't annealed properly (????)
are they something I can reintroduce to the flame and add loops?
and what do you use as an annealing cycle for boro?
any icicle tips? I'm focusing on glass for this show and hope to have a display of pretty icicles but don't want to waste my time if they are so easily breakable.
thanks!! SusanLambert
