I thought I would start a discussion based on my post tonight. Here is an examples of dichro I have created into a wonderful necklace:

What a wonderful piece of jewelry dichro glass makes!

I would love to chat with you about dichro if you use it in your jewelry making or a collection you may own.

Best,
D

Diane, I first saw dichroic pendants at a craft fair, I don't know 4 years ago, maybe? At least, the first time that I knew what it was. A woman was making the pendants herself. I've never been interested in making glass beads, using traditional lampworking techniques, but this intrigues me. No, I haven't yet tried it, even though I bought a kiln (still sitting, never used) back in Sept. I do have 3 different pieces that I've purchased and designed for myself, but hardly a collection.

TeriB, what can I do to encourage you to take your kiln out of the box and start learning about making dichroic pendants, bracelets and so much more?

Yes I do make my own dichro pendants and more, over the weekend I should have some time to post some. I don't make as many as I use to. The shows are just flooded with the dichro pendants now. And even some retail stores are bringing in cheap ones from China. Last year I did several embossed dichro pendants and this year creating one of a kind pieces incorporating wire or pmc.. whatever inspires me as I go

This is beautiful jewelry. I opened a new window to search for more and most were beautiful. This is for sure something I would wear.
