Tutorials: How to Make a Soldered Art Glass Pendant

Have you ever wondered how those cool soldered art glass pendants are made? You know, the ones with the black or silver stuff all around with the glob of glass or piece of stained glass in the middle.

I found a couple of cool links that show you how to make them.

Stained Glass Cosmic Pendant Video tutorial by Artist Poppy Adams

(http://etsyglass.com/blog/index.php/2007/09/19/stained-glass-cosmic-pendant/ )

This is a cool video tutorial I found on the Etsy Glass Artists Blog.

Artist Poppy Adams of Groovy Glass Girl (http://www.groovyglassgirl.etsy.com) shows how she makes cool pendants like the one on the right.

The music playing during the tutorial is really soothing too. Sort of jazzy and lazy.

There are no words or instructions so if you are absolutely new to soldering and need some instruction, check out link #2 to learn how to make a similar pendant in a more detailed way.
