Here is the photo of my finished crash glass project.
As you can see I have grouted the panel and added a cast iron cross at the top and a coin with a prayer at the bottom right. The Prayer reads: I said a prayer for you today, I know God must have heard. I felt the answer in my heart, although he spoke no word.
This project has a personal meaning to me as the religious cards used were in my collection of religious cards I have collected from funerals I have attended. The Praying hands is from my Mother-In-Law's funeral and the Sorrowful Mother is from my Grandmother's funeral. It took a while to finish this project as I did not know how to cut the nail off the cast iron cross. (See my previous posts: Cast Iron Crosses and Old New Toy)
The colors of a stained glass window when the sun shines through is magical, but in a mosaic piece the grout is what makes the colors pop. I have been working with stained glass for over twenty years. I love the sound of the score, breaking and cutting of the glass. The pictures you can create with pieces of glass are endless. It is so exciting to see the final project and selling a piece of art is thrilling. E-mail me if you are interested in purchasing a piece of art.

I love this! although your angels (marble, glass) are cute, this one has such meaning, texture and depth. Really awesome. I would so love to get down to Texas and create with you. Although I remain a bit afraid of power tools. I've taken classes with Michael DeMeng, and he's very big on them.
