I'm back! AND new bracelet...AND where can I find....?

Hi all,

Hubby, DD, and I took an overnight trip to Charleston, while he was on
vacation this last week. Fri., I spent the day with a wire friend, and he
and DD went to the Aquarium and to the IMAX.

My friend, Lynn, taught me how to make these bracelets that she does.
Her hubby recently took up lampwork, so we were going back and forth with
wire and beads, while I was teaching him some techniques. I can't think of
a better way to spend the day! What fun. I wish I had a few people close
by to sit and do wire or beadwork with!

Anyway, here's the bracelet I made out of jade stones:

and a close up:

Does anyone know where to find small square cabs like these?

Now, I have a lot of posts to catch up on!

Thanks Kandice!

Yes, I've been looking under square cabs, cabochons, cabachons, jewels,
tiles........... I'm about to go up and play with the kiln and see if I can
make some glass ones I like!

I guess I'll have to hunt around for someplace that sells them. Oval cabs
would work too.

I really like that bracelet!

For stone cabs, I think looking under lapidary would be your best bet. If
you have a Lapidary Journal, I'd check some of the advertisers in it.

And yes, glass cabs would be beautiful. But since the nature of fused glass
is that it tries to draw itself up into a round ball, it might not have good
enough corners. I think fused glass is also cut (with some sort of saw?)
and then refired briefly (as in fire polish), but I've never seen how that's
done.
