After thoroughly studying the directions (okay.....skimming them, sort of) I went through (destroyed) a lot of supplies, but I think I finally figured it out. I learn much better by jumping right into a project (directions are for sane people). After a bunch of misfirings in the kiln, I finally produced one pendant that turned out the way I wanted it to. I have about 36 hours into the pendant. Obviously, I need to work on the timing because right now I would have to sell them for $300 each just to cover labor costs (I am pretty sure they wouldn't sell at that price). I have more supplies coming in by the end of the week and I should have pendants up for sale on the website in 2 to 3 weeks. I will have different sizes and colors, and the pricing on the pendant necklaces will range from $16 to $24 (much better than $300).
