Ha.<br /><br />Hi Dennis, thanks, wonder if I should glue it or just leave it loose?<br /><br />Hi Suzi, thanks, I have never used a kneading epoxy; I might try that. The two part tends to string out and with pendents such a small amount is needed it's hard to control.<br /><br />Hi Mary, thanks, I do love the driftwood handles.<br /><br />Hi Patti, thanks, I need to make more of those bird pendants, it seems like it takes just as long to make something small as it does something large. Ha.<br /><br />Hi Michele, thanks, I have some of that E6000 and will try it, I forgot I had it. Who is the guy you are working with on etsy? I want to get some other bales I only have silver and would like some copper and gold.<br /><br />Hi Anna, thanks, a tube of glue would be better than the two part epoxy I use, way too messy, good for large wall hangings, but not good for small pendants.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-68857912388550416162012-01-13T06:12:07.269-05:002012-01-13T06:12:07.269-05:00I like your bird head pendant :)

Happy New Year by the way :^)Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03620588456375419442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-82706248349153039032012-01-12T21:53:44.998-05:002012-01-12T21:53:44.998-05:00I have been buying bails from a guy on etsy and he...I have been buying bails from a guy on etsy and he was been great to deal with... we talked on the phone and he even sent me some samples of different types. He suggested using E6000 for adhesive since it works well with temperature/climate change, ie if you make it in Florida and ship to Alaska it will stay adhered. So far I have had good luck with it. It's readily available at most hobby shops.<br />... so hard to decide on the driftwood... i like 2,3 and 4 the best... i think??? they all look good, particularly with that glaze.Michèle Hastingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346907762804197879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-23058723800152339512012-01-12T19:05:50.333-05:002012-01-12T19:05:50.333-05:00Third handle from the top and the first pendant.

It's visual weight and size balances with the bucket so that one doesn't over power the other.<br /><br />As for attaching stuff....I generally use a kneading epoxy....one of the ones where it comes in a cylinder and you cut off an amount and knead until mixed....I have it in black and a grayish white. I think I've used silicon everywhere but on pots.....I know Elmer's makes it in small tubes. It might be worth testing.smartcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15430370214403895826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-29834730324533391642012-01-12T12:45:45.746-05:002012-01-12T12:45:45.746-05:00I like the first 3 the best with 2 & 3 at the ...I like the first 3 the best with 2 & 3 at the top of the list.Lori Buffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00233955188892423314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-85457403523698376052012-01-12T12:37:52.159-05:002012-01-12T12:37:52.159-05:00Either 3 or 5 would work for me.Either 3 or 5 would work for me.Dennis Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01170187288282755570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-17397057156991026232012-01-12T11:25:00.390-05:002012-01-12T11:25:00.390-05:00I prefer the last handle as, to me, the other hand...I prefer the last handle as, to me, the other handles overpower the container. Those pendants sell like hot cakes in my village. In the Balkans they use silicone to glue stuff together, including decorative moulds on walls. Not sure if it's available in the U.S. but that stuff works!!!Kittie Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756250649095903317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-37641114683188164212012-01-12T11:04:15.028-05:002012-01-12T11:04:15.028-05:00Hello Linda:

I like the proportions and asymmetry, quirkiness of the driftwood shape, and darker color of the wood with the green glaze. Works interestingly with the vessel without overpowering.<br />:)barbaradonovanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06694148642745082571noreply@blogger.com
