There was grinding and wrapping in copper foiling and soldering and balancing and soldering and soldering and more soldering!
I really should have cleaned the solder off the glass and washed off the sharpie marker before taking the photos!
Seeing them together, I definitely need to add wire and beads to the orange/yellow/red one. I think it looks quite plain in comparison.
I could also do with improving my soldering. I'm considering buying a soldering iron so I can make these at home, to use up the scraps of glass I have and to practice, but if I can't cut the glass cleanly enough, I don't have access to a grinder... decisions, decisions!

I love both of them. The beads do really add a touch of whimsy, but the orange one is beautiful, too.
Would a small Dremel drill with all those little attachments do the trick with the glass? I'm sure they have some attachments that are for sanding things down.
Beautiful in both colors !
Have a nice weekend !
Thanks for your "french" comments !

Another beautiful project!
Oh, how very clever of you! That is one thing I have never tried... but looks like fun! xxx
I think they came out great!
You could have a lovely collection of these, all in different colours. Do you know what project you'll be making when the class restarts?
These are so modern and awesome! I like that post about the blue tea light down there as well! Nice job Wendy.
These look good. My Dad used to make terrariums for a living years ago and never had a grinder so it can be done - with practise :)
They are very nice. I love them.
