Glass Things
Wee Light Bulbs
Three sizes of real glass Light Bulbs! Wonderful for techno or Steampunk projects like charms, Tim's Configuration Boxes, shrines, etc. From left to right in the picture they are Cylindrical 1-3/16" tall x 3/8", Round 7/8" tall x 3/8", and Tiny 5/8" tall x 1/4".

Light Bulbs
Tim's Light Bulbs are unique - they each have a hole drilled through the metal base for ease of attachment! They complement our other light bulbs which are smaller, shown above. Ten bulbs, half are 1-1/4" and half are 1" tall.

Glass Vials
Small glass vials - great tied to a Summer Journal with a bit of sand inside, or holding tiny seeds, beads or glitter. They are round with either real corks (Size B + C + F) or plastic stoppers with a tiny hole (Size D). The Amber E is without any topper. The C and D vials are identical, as are the amber E and F ones; only the tops are different. Sizes without the cork/stopper:
- B: 3/4" tall x 3/4" diameter
- C, D: 7/8" tall x 7/16" diameter
- E, F: 1.5" tall x 13/16" diameter

Tiny Thermometers
Itty bitty thermometers! Tiny little glass tubes with red liquid, backed by thin cardstock printed with temperatures in Centigrade and Fahrenheit. Tiny enough for ATCs (Artist Trading Cards) or greeting cards. Not a real thermometer: although the level of the red liquid may change, it's not calibrated. 1-3/16" tall, 1/2" wide.
Price: 12 for $2.00

Eccentric Magnifying Lens
A rather eccentric-looking gold-rimmed Magnifying Lens with a metal projection or handle. The little knob is the join that keeps the metal rim on the lens. Steam Punk, anyone? 1" diameter, with 3/4" stem.
|
Glass Lenses
Real glass magnifying lenses make cool embellishments for collage, assemblage, shrines, etc. The Medium-sized ones are about 3/4" across. The Small ones are industrial surplus and may have small chips, but that just gives them character. 9/16". Both are nearly flat.
Price: $1.00

Clear Memory Glass
Clear glass slides to create unique jewelry pieces and embellishments by encapsulating art, ephemera and photos. Memory glass edges can be left natural or finished with melted UTEE (faux solder), foil tape, solder, glues and stickers. The polished surface lends itself to accenting with alcohol inks, wire, beads, rub-ons, embossing powders, decorative glues, and more.
Microscope slide quality distortion-free glass with smoothly buffed edges and rounded corners. Archival. Each pack has 24 pieces in one size. The 1" square glass is 2mm thick for extra durability for jewelry projects; all other glass is 1mm thick. They are only 25 cents a piece!
We also carry the Inkssentials Memory Foil Tape, which is used for taping or soldering the edges of these slides, as well as the Memory Frames that make a pendant or ornament out of them. And see the Simply Soldered book about making jewelry with glass slides - just below!

Simply Soldered
Simply Soldered: Jewelry, Frames, Boxes, Accents & More! by Cary Edelmann Avery with Beckah Krahula, Opie and Linda O'Brien, Ramona Dolan Ashman, Tom Ashman, Laura Dehart, and Linda Raul.
A Design Originals book about making jewlery and other fun things using solder. This technique is sometimes known as Faux Soldering, Glass Soldering, or Tinning, and can be used with Memory Glass Slides and Memory Foil Tape. The book shows how you can make charms of virtually anything - Scrabble tiles, game pieces, pottery shards, coins.
We used to think of soldering as something you do to attach wires to a board, but now we understand what is happening with soldering glass! You are not really soldering things together so much as covering strips of copper foil with solder, which is a nice shiny silvery color because it's mostly tin. Along the way you can solder on a jump ring, of course, to make a charm or pendant, so there is some attaching going on. More importantly, you are creating a nice frame around an object to make it into jewelry.
