First Pendant using 'Thames Glass' Cabochon

My second batch of 'Thames Glass' cabochons came out well. I cut the glass into smallish pieces, placed them on a sheet of mica, and fired them in a kiln at 850C for about 10 minutes. Not all the glass melted, some of the pieces must have been a higher temperature melting glass or maybe I should have left them in a bit longer... These are still work in progress :-)

Some of the cabochons come out matte, some completely transparent. I think this may hint to the dates of the glass pieces - the clearer the newer. This is based on nothing scientific - just guesswork!

So here is a pendant I made with a blue floral pottery shard and a blue glass cabochon, a tiny moonstone as well.
