OMG that is so cool! Forgive me for sounding like a valley girl, but it never would have occurred to me to set a bar of glass like that! What happened to the bar in the kiln is great. I love it. :D

actually I had to refire the ends of the glass because it came out just as I put it in, just a strip so the ends were not rounded and I didnt want to over heat it in the kiln for fear of the other things I had in at the time- and I refired it again because I didnt have the little circle thing on it the first time.. fighting with snakes and I still need to add an attachment to it so I can either hang it or put it on another piece..this is one of my learning items and I couldnt find the correct glass.. :) I was trying to practice snakes but well, we just dont get along much snakes and I.
