Just the outside to hold the shape, I guess. I've used black clay 'strings' along it but I thought there might be a less obtrusive way. I thought about sandwiching it between two slices but the orange is mostly translucent and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to match up the patterns, lol!

ok another thought........ and yes it hurt.......and yes there was smoke...
tee hee hee
what for / why exactly do you wish to wire them? and........
you can bake them over a tin foil A frame so they will bake with wings up so to speak.
kinda tricky unless we know what you plan on doing with them--- do you wish to hang them? sorry sweetie dont mean to sound rude. muah

Still experimenting. Maybe a brooch or pendant or window decoration. The slices are that thin that even after baking they might be a bit fragile. omg I just pulled the first set out of the oven... I'll be back with pics!
