Vintage Glass

Ostsin kunagi sellised punased klaasist tilgad. Paistab, et need on käsitsi lihvitud, sest igaüks on isemoodi, ka klaasi punane värv varieerub. Need on need nn "half-drilled" tüüpi, mistõttu mina naiivselt arvasin, et need ongi auguga, mis ulatub poole peale :) Aga ei, auk on vaevalt 5mm. Kasutasin liimi ning liimisin auku traadijupi ning kaunistuseks ja ka tugevuseks metallist pärlikübarad.

I once bought vintage glass red teardrops. It seems that these are faceted by hand, because they are all different even the colour is lighter-darker. These are those half-drillid kind of tears and I honestly thought the hole goes half way :) But it's barely 5mm deep. I glued a piece of wire and a bead caps for security and look.
