So I spent a bit of time looking around and exploring Steampunk . . and I've managed to find a couple of great suppliers of watch movements and clock and watch parts for Steampunk Jewellery Making! Along with that, I've added some more blanks to the site as well and we've now got more than 220 stock items. So . . Here's a taster of what we've got coming to the website very soon . . </P></span>

The finished piece won't look quite like it does now . . the glass is thinner at the top of the shape than nearer the bottom . . so I shall shape the sides downwards to give a curved outline and take the glass back to where it is thicker. This is a very delicate process . . cutting and grinding will stress the glass a little and the glass cannot be re-fired to de-stress it . . sooo . . carefully does it! . .
