Well the new wet cutting saw works a charm... my glass casting experiment - well it was a learning experience. |
| How to turn flag irises in Dutch irises |
They were meant to be flag irises - but it was a real loaves and fishes act - I ended up with a lot more off cuts and broken bits than the left over glass I started off with......
Casting in the copper stems seemed like a good idea at the time - but the copper has burned out so that it doesn't hold the thread I cut - not strong enough so I'll have to glue the flowers into place. Back to brass stems for flowers and apples? I'll have to think about this.
In fact there was a break away on the first iris I cast - much food for thought here.Now out to the garden with you while I use the time to try another approach......
