Glass Slides

Clear & Frosted Memory Glass

Glass slides in Clear or Frosted! Create unique jewelry pieces and embellishments by encapsulating art, ephemera and photos. Memory glass edges can be left natural or finished with melted UTEE (faux solder), foil tape, solder, glues and stickers. The polished surface lends itself to accenting with alcohol inks, wire, beads, rub-ons, embossing powders, decorative glues, and more.

Inkssentials Frosted Memory Glass is textured on one side to create a translucent, frosted look, while the other side is smooth and clear for subtle or dramatic effects with your artwork. Use with clear embossing powder for etched glass looks. Dab on Ranger's Adirondack Alcohol Inks to give a frosted beach glass finish.

Microscope slide quality distortion-free glass with smoothly buffed edges and rounded corners. Archival. Each pack has 24 pieces in one size. The 1" square glass is 2mm thick for extra durability for jewelry projects; all other glass is 1mm thick. They are only 25 cents a piece!

We also carry the Inkssentials Memory Foil Tape, which is used for taping or soldering the edges of these slides, as well as the Memory Frames and Memory Capsules that make a pendant or ornament out of them. And see the Simply Soldered book about making jewelry with glass slides - just below!

Simply Soldered

Simply Soldered

Simply Soldered: Jewelry, Frames, Boxes, Accents & More! by Cary Edelmann Avery with Beckah Krahula, Opie and Linda O'Brien, Ramona Dolan Ashman, Tom Ashman, Laura Dehart, and Linda Raul.

A Design Originals book about making jewlery and other fun things using solder. This technique is sometimes known as Faux Soldering, Glass Soldering, or Tinning, and can be used with Memory Glass Slides and Memory Foil Tape. The book shows how you can make charms of virtually anything - Scrabble tiles, game pieces, pottery shards, coins.

We used to think of soldering as something you do to attach wires to a board, but now we understand what is happening with soldering glass! You are not really soldering things together so much as covering strips of copper foil with solder, which is a nice shiny silvery color because it's mostly tin. Along the way you can solder on a jump ring, of course, to make a charm or pendant, so there is some attaching going on. More importantly, you are creating a nice frame around an object to make it into jewelry.

Price: $11.00 [List: $12.99]

Memory Capsules Memory Capsules Memory Capsules Memory Capsules

Memory Capsules

Inkssentials Memory Capsules are the latest things for working with Memory Frames and Memory Glass to make stunning jewelry and ornaments! Each capsule is a clear plastic dome with a flat base that matches one of the Memory Frames in size. Encapsulate 3-dimensional objects with your art, ephemera, stamped images, etc., then place in a Memory Frame with a Memory Glass slide.

Each pack has 12 Memory Capsules, made from high-quality, crystal clear material, with several different dome shapes: circle, oval, and 2 decorative-edged rectangles. (Note: the 1"x3" capsules do not include the circle shape.) Click here to see samples of jewelry made with the capsules.

Memory Frames

Inkssentials Memory Frames were developed especially for the Inkssentials Memory Glass, to encase and protect your glass creations. Complete with pre-soldered, matching jump ring, these easy-to-use, hinged frames allow you to make instant ornaments, scrapbook embellishments and jewelry. Note: The 1" x 1" frame has jump rings on two sides for making a bracelet.

According to Ranger, the frames should be opened slightly and carefully to slide the Memory Glass inside before closing. Intended for one-time framing of artwork.
