Aren't those purty!
When I read how to do this, I just had to try it for myself--it seemed too easy to be true.
I baked mine at 325 for 20 minutes and plopped them into a bowl of cold water. It worked, though I don't think I achieved quite the same faceted effect as the gorgeous ones above.
I topped it with a bead cap into which I inserted a rounded wire and threaded it onto a satin rope.
I'll be playing with this just a bit more to see if I can get more cracks in my marbles. Just what I need, right--more cracks in my marbles!
ETA: go ahead and cook them up at 500 degrees for 30 minutes to get more 'crackage.'
