Cabochon Set

I have been in the studio trying to get my ceramics ready for the spring shows, but seem to always find something other to do.
I had made some Cabochons out of lampwork glass, although balancing glass on the end of a mandrell, filled me with dread it was good for my tummy muscles? Holding your breath and tummy in, until the bead was finished.
Really enjoyed the end result, so sent them off to "by george" who is a vey talented lady in silver work.
I told her I would like a ring out of one and a fibula with the other. Setting the cab into a silver setting and then soldering it to the fibula. She kindley set the third into a pendant, here is a picture of the finshed pieces.

Think I maybe making some more of these in the near future.
I have put some beads on sale on Ebay and I am also selling a lot of my Ceramic moulds.
Well best I go out to the studio and do those jobs that need to be done !!
