Making a fan pull as a housewarming gift for a friend. Made and annealed the focal piece last week and it was fine; picked it up last night and noticed...cracks. Auuggghh!
(sorry bout the horrible pics; forgot the camera was still set for the eclipse photos)
I'm unsure if the cracks are due to temp issues (it's a big heart; 2 full rods just for the base, so maybe it got a little cool when I was adding the decor?), or incompatibility (which would be weird; the base is just CIM Mojito over Effetre Clear and all decor is 104 and used in other beads without issue, but the cracks look to me like incompatibility). Thing is, the colors are pretty close to her wall/furniture colors in the room the fan pull would be in. If it's a temp issue, well, friggin hell, but I can redo. If it's compatibility, I'll have to rethink all my colors ($^&@#*%!).
Opinions please!!
