First the design is planned using particular patterns, colors, and shapes to get the desired end result. Next, the glass is carefully cut to shape and put in place. The layers of glass are then fused together in a kiln. After this flat strip has cooled, it is then placed on a metal form, heated in a kiln until limp, formed into a bracelet, and allowed to cool again. Each of these pieces has been hand made and formed individually.
Some pieces require special sanding and heat polishing.
Each piece has its own heating formula depending upon color, type and thickness of glass used. Because each combination reacts in its own way to heat and rate of heat, many of these pieces are lost in the process. Once formed into a bracelet, these pieces are very strong and durable, but must be worn with a bit of caution. If hit hard or dropped they will shatter or break. If treated with care, they will provide years of pleasure and delight.
