(Faceted Glass Solids)

Faceted objects An experiment in faceting- Ya'll pipers were makin me jealous. These were egg-forms made offhand. Then each faceted was grinded down freehand ( in other words no holding arm) on a 220 lapwheel, hand lapped (not on a lap-wheel, just a glass plate with grit on it, basically rubbing your piece back and forth) to 400 and 600, and then pumice and cerium wheel to polish. A lot of work, but a lot of fun. I think it would have been a lot faster if I had those polishing mats and holding arms that I've seen, but I don't. Sucks to my as-mar.

I bought this in Bali. It was about 2 dollars, and handmade!!! It must have taken a good chuck of time to make . . . Makes you gracious for how much we get paid for our craft here, especially when our skills might not be as high as this!
