So Simple 2

As you can see, the earrings are wonderfully transparent, as well.  That means they also present the same simple aesthetic attraction and the same challenges when it comes to attaching hardware.

Using adhesive to attach a post to the back will make them functional, but the back of the post and the glue will be the visual feature, and not the color or clarity of the transparent glasses that have been combined.  Drilling a hole on one side turns them into dangling earrings, suspended by wires.  Attaching the hardware with drill holes makes a hole in the otherwise smooth surface, but does not detract from the image in the way attaching a post would.

There are actually four pieces to experiment with in this color-combo set; one vertical pendant, one horizontal pendant, and one pair of earrings.  IF everything comes out, as planned, it will be a fun set.  As I have learned from many previous trials, however......it's never done until it is DONE.  In these multi-step projects, there are many things that can happen, from conception and design to final product.

If the final product is a "gotta have it" item, I have learned to have a plan A and a plan B and the materials available for both plans!

With glass, even the best of plans....................................don't always end the way they are planned; not always a bad thing.  Glass is a good teacher of patience and always follows it's own rules - the trick is to know ALL of the rules!
