Thanks to everybody who replied, I've been off-line for a few days so couldn't reply. I love the stands Dick but it isn't what I want, for the mirrors.

Hanging problem

I am planning to make some fused mirrors surrounds. My problem is how do you hang them up. Can you somehow fuse wire into the back? Or do you glue some sort of hanger/loop onto the back once it is complete? Any help in this would be appreciated.

Very nice work Lyn, I love the engraved horses.

What size are your pendants? How do you engrave so small an area?
