There are so many ideas for which it can be used whether to create a pattern and slump the glass over it or to create channels in pendants and other items that you might want to hang like chimes, ornaments, and suncatchers. After firing, when you remove it from the glass, instead of throwing it away, save it, because I'm sure there's a use for it - if anything to add some kind of mold compound to it to create your own mold - just an idea that came to mind - I'll have to try it myself one day. :) Also, you can make smaller channels by pulling the rope apart.

Great set!, November 21, 2008 5 stars
Pros
I find these easy to work with by covering them with primo primer. I fired them the first time using shelf paper while doing my initial experimenting so that when I put the primo primer on them it would stick better because normally they have to be fired first before covering with primer. And, I love the different sizes.
Cons
Haven't had any problems thus far. Would love to be able to buy them separately.
Other Thoughts
What am I still doing here? I need to get back to the kiln! :)
