Free-hand Stained Glass

A while ago I decided I needed a hobby. I wanted to do something artistic and decided on stained glass. I started watching videos of how to do stained glass windows and there were so many exacting steps of tracing patterns and breaking the glass perfectly, fitting it together, and all that... anyway I decided to just start cutting and fitting pieces of glass together.

I had these pieces cut out for about a month and today I finally did the grinding, copper tape and soldering. Every step of working with glass like this is really fun. Right now I am working with scrap pieces of glass I am able to find. Since I have decided not to work with anything I have predawn or follow any patterns as I am working, I have also decided that I am not to going to be concerned about the color of the glass. I am interested to see what I can come up with by not following the rules!


If anyone has anything they would like as a little nightlight, light catcher, window hanging, or ornament let me know and I will attempt to create it!
