Hi y'all, here are a couple of pics I took of glass I wrapped with copper wire for a set of wind whimes i am making. Lord copper wire is hard to work with when it is thick...phewwwwww... plus I was using regular needle nose pliers to boot. enjoy...laugh./..giggle...I know I did...but it'll look cool once i get the rest of the chime made...it'll go good with the humming bird feeders we have. thanks Steve Seeeeeeeee that glass really does shine like glass...huh ? even after it is tumbled and polished. HA HA HA

That's really cool, I can't wait to see how it looks all done. Did you have plans to follow or do a design yourself? Love the colored glass too, is this self-collected or did you buy some?

Cher, this is the glass I have been selling to everyone on here. I get it close by my house....it is old glass slag form an old glass factory. it sure is cool looking stuff and I like it as much as rocks. the wire wrapping I just did out of my head..no plans...just a pictures I have in my head of what i want the finished product to look like. thanks Steve

Really looking forward to seeing the wind chimes when they are done. Wish we could hear them too. I am fasinated about you making some of your own colors. The glass you sell Steve is beautiful! I just wish you had better timing. LOL I recently bought a used 12 inch saw and my pockets are more than empty. But one of these days. Daniel
