Swept

Well, here it is. The project I made for the Clean Sweep Challenge.

Last winter, I took a metalsmithing class. I meant to bezel-set a lot of my glass, but I didn't learn how in the class and I toasted the first several bezels in one way or another, then made some I wasn't really happy with, so I gave up for a long time.

I knew what I wanted to do with this cab as soon as it came out of the kiln, but I kept putting it off. So the cab, and a coil of bezel wire, and the little carnelian stars, sat on my bead board looking pathetic until yesterday when I finally got it together. I am not 100% happy with it. I think if I were going to do another one, I would solder a ring to the bottom rather than cutting the back sheet to create the little circle.
