Hi all! I went to the regionals in Providence RI and one of the demonstrators did a microscope slide pin. Is anyone familiar with this? I've seen microscope slides for necklaces, but for some reason I don't think the same method was used. I'm trying to recreate it, but think I'm missing a step. I was wondering if anyone can help me with this? Thanks...BethS.

Beth, I just got one of the pins as a gift from my upline yesterday.. What do you think you are missing? I've never done it, but looking at mine, from bottom to top, it's a slide, mulberry, stamped image (either driectly onto the top slide with staz-on or onto acetate transparency) then the top slide, it's all held to gether with sticky strip and ours have microbeads around the outside too. I think that covers it.. I just ordered a box of slides today!

Look at some of these web sites. Most of them are using a soldering iron and solder for pins except the last one. I do stained glass and would attach it with the solder myself but that�s another added expense to get into and you have to make sure it�s lead free solder. I made similar pendants but never using the microscope slides, I cut my own glass. The one that has wrapped wire around it was doable for a necklace. Well, I was just taking a break from cross-stitching and thought I�d look these up so I hope it helps you out. My neck has had it�s break so I better get back to stitching.

Doh! I was missing the mulberry! Thanks so much Becky and everyone else too. I ordered my slides from cbd.com. It's a Christian book store site. Once you log onto the site, got to the section that says Homeschool, then click on Science and they're right there. Thanks again! BethS.
