The glass for this pendant was first cut by me, then fused in my kiln, allowed to cool for about 8 hours, then some are fired again depending on if silver is added to them or other embellishments. The focal bead is then hand painted by me, and allowed to cure for 24 hours, it is fired again for a second or third time to make the paint permanent and scratch resistant. Each mini painting has been signed and all are a one of a kind. You can use the pendants in your own jewelry creation or simply slide them on a chain and wear, knowing that you are wearing a truly unique necklace! Or display your mini pieces or art in a shadow box!
