In one instance Patti submerged glass beads in etching cream to obtain a frosted glass look. Most of the silverware was actually stainless steel purchased at local discount stores. Wine glasses and glass candlesticks were similarly inexpensive pieces. One of the pieces was a plain glass bottle with a glass topped cork stopper. Patti etched a design on the bottle and round ball top and wrapped the 2-inch long neck of the bottle with wire and a multicolored selection of beads.
All pieces are dishwasher safe.
Silver wire is inclined to oxidize over the years. Wine glasses with faceted stems are easier to wrap than straight cylinder stems. The wire may be wrapped very close together so the underneath item is no longer visible or it can be wrapped very stretched out so every wrap can be seen. It is a matter of choice. Both are attractive.
