OK newbies... where are your pictures. I know someone tried Paula's pendent this weekend.
Here is my try. The "stuff" you see is PMC that didn't work. Yes, dremel work headed my way. (If someone knows what temp I need to make this work with boro please let me know) The other is something I did for a inspiration challenge on WC (kaleidescope theme)

I never thought about using PMC like that before. Have you ever succeeded with soft glass? Sorry don't have any answers but if you make it work that would be too cool.

I've seen PMC with soft, and someone here on LE used it with tequila sunrise I thought. I found instuctions for soft but the temp (1100) seems too low to make it bond with the boro. I may try a higher temp (1200) next time but it will affect the glass color. We'll see... it will be a few days at least until I can play.

Oh I forgot I did have a reasonably good pendant come out from Paula's tutorial. I didn't have the tools to put a hole in it so I just did the pendant without the hole and it came out looking pretty good. The weekend is busy but I'll try and remember to post early next week.
Thanks, Paula, for the great tutorial and I love your frit blends! It was really cool to roll on the frit and not try and stop myself. I kept going back for more since I wasn't worried about a COE differential -- it was super fun!
And, I did have some absolute and total implosion messes which wouldn't even qualify as fuglies... oh well... PPP
Happy pecan pie day to all!

These are some beads I made while I was trying to get some decent stuff for the Boro Bead Exchange. I finally gave up on round beads and went with a bunch of goddess beads.
Cheers,

Trike Girl, I love your colors! Can you tell us what they are? And, it's great to see different shapes. I'm a red/pink/purple fan so I particularly love those colors. However, if I was going to pick one to wear, it'd be the blue one -- everything comes together so well -- color, shape, proportion... I like the dots that you added as well.

Thanks
The fan/hand is NS root beer with VB Sedona Sunrise a little GA SS5frit
Green is Momka 46 base Nessie's dower and Nancy toby no 1 (just a little)
The blue I think the base is momka silver beach with open mind and nancy toby no 1. probably some SS5 frit also Dots are Royal blue
I have a bad habit of just grabbing colors but I went out to see what was on top on my torch area
The blue is my favorite also- it seems to go with everything, I wore the hand today though. Well I need to get ready to go play.

Thanks for the color info! I have not yet tried Momka's but I drool everytime I see it so I guess I know what'll be on my Christmas list!
Love all those new pieces!

I really like some of the momka rods. The multies have some that are really fun and love to be beat up and lots of heat (antique beauty and silver dance for starters) They melt like butter
Green trails (wysiwyg, low heat), gypsy queen (so so heat)and bead and ring from silver dance (the more heat and abuse the more color)

I can see that I need to order some of the Silver Dance -- those are the colors I love and if it can take abuse so much the better! All the colors are beautiful and I like that so many different colors come from one rod.
I love the rings! Is there a tutorial somewhere for those?
You definitely have some lovely eye candy!

Thanks, I haven't seen a tut. But I use the large mandrels. The key is to makesure it is well heated or your glass will come off part of the way around. They are a great use for beads that spit in half also.

PMC doesn't bond with the glass. If you want it to stay on, you have to construct the PMC so that it cages the glass, or somehow grabs something -- there has to be some sort of a mechanical connection.
There's a form of Art Clay Silver called Overlay Paste that is supposed to stick to glass and stay on by itself. Obviously they're keeping their mouths shut tight about how it does it, and I haven't heard that anyone has worked it out, or has figured out a way to make PMC do the same thing. The Art Clay Silver Overlay Paste is made to fire at 1200 degrees (650 degrees C), which they say minimizes the possibility of yellowing. (So you may not get too much yellowing at 1200 if you do a second try with the PMC.) I've never tried the Overlay Paste, so I don't know if it really sticks to the glass or not.
Kare, what were you trying to do with the PMC? Maybe we can figure out a way to make it work.

I have some large rings I did. They look good as a simple pendent. I thought lining the inside wilth PMC woul look great. I had made a past. I also played putting some on the outside. It stayed better on the outside curve than the inside.
