Hi, this is Cherly from Expert Village and I'm going to be teaching you how to make fused glass jewelry today. So, check it out. You just grind it out real fast, just like that. Be sure you don't get your fingertips because that hurts. and you do loose fingernails, I've done it many times. Ough! I just did it then. Grind it out, and of course your'e gonna want to make sure all your pieces fit together and are pretty much even. Even if there is a little bit hanging out it doesn't matter. So you just line it up again. Looks pretty even I think, a little bit more off the top. Just grind it down, and that's it. So now you have your two pieces of glass ground down, check it out. See? Very cool. Turn off your glass grinder and now we go over to etching. So, I'll just draw a little design on it in a minute and I'll show you how to do that. Alrighty.
