Soldered charms

I just realised this is my 51st post so happy anniversary I guess.
After I made the soldered microscope slide necklace I was inspired. I had to try again.
So, at stamp camp I borrowed a glass cutter and cut some slides into inchies. Now this was my first play with inchies as well.
It's not too easy to cut inchies and there was a lot of wasted glass but I managed to get a few done and promptly gave them away. I can see there is more to be learned with this soldering caper but it is a lot of fun and worth the effort.
