| PATTERNS BY PJ I'm dabbling in my own patterns. The designs below are representations of my online catalog of etching patterns. Click on each thumbnail to see the full sheet of the stencil design. To make your own designs, all you need is your dichro (90COE, 96 COE, Moretti, 106 COE, It doesn't matter -- any unfired dichroic coated glass), these single use stencils and etching cream (I prefer Armour Etch). The full 8" x 8" sheets of these one time use stencils are $20.00; half 4" x 8" sheets are $10.00. I do not have a storefront, (but I am selling 2" x 4" pieces of glass made with a random selection of my patterns on EBay -- my Ebay name is "Peejer2" -- here's a link to my listing) Ordering may be a pain in the butt, but it helps keep the costs down and I think that is a good thing. I'm a low volume producer. If you can live with that, enjoy! "Black equals Dichro" (or the image that isn't etched) in the images.email meif you have questions or want to ask about purchasing the stencils to create your own designs on your own colors of dichroic glass -- any dichro! I also have small sample packs of stencils with instructions for $5.00, $10.00 and $20.00. Shipping is included for 2 or fewer. Multiple orders will be by weight -- Please email me if you want to confirm that cost. Catalog is $3.00 (with a $3.00 credit on the first order). Retail pricing for a 4" x 4" piece of patterned glass is $30.00; 2" x 4" pieces will be available for 60% of the 4" x 4" price. Volume pricing is available. All 90 COE thin clear or thin black. Current Dichro in stock is Copper Cyan, Red Silver, and Rainbow 2. Others can be ordered, but timetable will be determined when you order. |

![]() So, you saw our ad! I created this page to correspond with the ad in Bead and Button magazine. Myra Nicholas and I collaborate on that. Hop to her stuff by clicking here! You can also go directly to her Digitally Designed Papers, the exquisitely unique watch faces, some Fantastic Finds, Idea Starters, or Instructions or Links. Now I have added some "partz" of my own. (Myra is a bad influence on me.) I now have decals for you fused glass enthusiasts!.Click here to go that section of the page. What was I thinking? I have also added some "yard sale/grab bag" stuff. Want to order a sample pack? Click here Dichroic Glass Cabochons ("Dichro Dots") These pieces begin with thin different types of art glass and kiln formed with different types of dichroic coated glass. I cut them into squarish shapes and fire them in a kiln. The snaps below are the range of colors and sizes in stock at this nanosecond. The colors vary widely, so if you are interested, you would have to check with me for a sampling. You can also be surprised, asking for color families, like gold, blue, pink, rainbow, etc. "Regular" dot cabs are $2.00 each retail.Cabochons are excellent for making bracelets, or pendants, or set them in silver or gold or whatever. Contact me directly for more information. I can arrange for samples or a selection of pieces for your individual project. Priced by size. $.02 per square mm or minimum of $2.00 per cab. These are what I use for my watch bands and nugget bracelets. I now have the ring and connector chain (8" length is my standard) in "Hamilton Gold" with a gold plated clasp. $10 each to artists. Email me if you are interested.

![]() Woven wire necklaces I make these with my own spool knitting kit. I have a very good selection of two and three wire combinations. 14K gold filled, sterling silver and coated wire in many colors. Clasps are 14K gold filled or Sterling. I also create double 14K gold filled and triple sterling silver. Retail $10.00. Email me for list; also will do special orders. The image is of the "Dichro Space Pearl" necklaces that I have at my shows, but look at them for woven wire. Having been left unsupervised for just long enough, I am making my own necklaces with sterling silver, 14K gold filled, and coated wire (thank you Artistic Wire). The technique is spool knitting with a wooden spool (yes, that's right) and a crochet hook. I usually knit 3 strands of wire together for each necklace. One of sterling silver, one of gold filled and one of the coated wire. Three strands of one type of wire can be ordered for an additional price. The necklaces are priced by necklace length up to 20" (retail $7.50). Clasps are sterling silver or 14K gold filled. The necklaces are a staple in my rainbow woven dichroic necklaces and they make a very nice presentation for featuring a pendant. |
Specialty
Beads I'm putting the beads I didn't make on my yardsale page. From time to time I'll have coral, Carnelian, glass, fiber optic, and who knows what else. |
