I have just retired and am looking for a hobby - something to occupy my time...... I thought it would be fun to learn how to cut glass and make my own windchimes.....
I do not know anyone who has experience in cutting glass to help me - - Soooo, what would be easier in your opinion???
Buying 8X10 sheets of colored glass from a glass company - cutting the glass into 1X2 or 1X3 strips and drilling a hole to hang - - -
OR buying some One inch 1X2 or 1X3 pyramid or pencil bevels from a place I saw on the Internet called McGills Glass Warehouse
I plan to use glass beads on the filament used to hang the 'chime' cutting my own strips would give me the opportunity to get different colored glass - I would rather go this route if it wouldn't be too difficult to learn how to cut glass -
If y'all think that cutting the glass would be a bit difficult for a complete novice, then maybe learning to drill holes and using the already cut bevels would be the way to go?????
I just do not know what to do - - - - - -
Please - I need all the tips I can get - I am a total beginner in doing something like this - a total novice in the craft world - I just have the time and want to try and learn something new that I would enjoy doing.
I appreciate you comments..... Thanks & Have a FABULOUS day!
