new toy

Well as some of you know i went to the creative stitches and hobbycraft show yesterday. There wasn't many bead shops there, well not many i could get to as the place was jam packed. I did however come across a stand selling micro kilns, i've been after one of these for ages and hubby had said if i see something i want for my birthday, in june, then to get it. So i did, i was so excited and wanted to try it out as soon as we got home but after some reading up on the internet we discovered that you should use a separate microwave to what you cook in :-(. So we went shopping and bought a cheap one so i could try it out, what a great and understanding hubby i have.
So my first one didn't go to plan and the courner was to close to the edge and got stuck, not a good thing as it can damage the kiln.

The second one i made into a pendant, looks pretty good, even if i do say so myself.

I only have enough glass now to make another 4 pendants so i suppose i better start looking for stockists. I can here the cash card groaning already.
