D.C. Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Impressive.... I just assumed you used a torch or propane forge and was trying to figure out of the glass ever fused to the forge floor.... imagine my surprise when I got to the last pictures! Very cool.

Redsmith Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Soooo, does the glass actually fuse to the steel under the heat? Very cool BTW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-v Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 merci !! yes , it fuse to the steel , thats where it become tricky , because when cooling the metal retract and can crunch the glass when cooling to fast .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausfire Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Beautiful jewellery! The olive green pendant looks like wrought iron from the lustrous texture. OK, is it special glass that you used? And why didn't it just melt through the hole and fall into the forge? Cool technique - perhaps you could give us a few more details. Magnifique, Monsieur j-v!
