Hi guys...
I thought this might be a neat place to showcase our imagination reusing found glass objects and taking our less then perfect projects and making them into something else. We've already seen several examples of this, so now we can keep them together and see how creative people can be at a glance.
Glass is too expensive to throw out...lets reuse it.

We've seen several examples of this with Di and Nancy's plate pieces, Marsha's box, Judy's rose, to name a few recent ones.
Keeping them all together for reference might inspire all of us to reuse our glass.

love the re-use, re-gift- recycle concept. Think it will bring us all some creative juice along the way. Great idea Kev

Thanks. It was actually Ian and Elizabeth's daughter's site that made me think of it.

#1 The item shown on the top left was something I threw together years ago
just by laying out some scrap glass.
#2 At one time I played around making scrap mosaics.
#3 Wally the Worm plant poke.
#4 Cupcake. (I've also done reindeer faces, small purses, Christmas presents, stockings, high heels, and holly leaves with nugget berries)
Kev you mentioned Ian and Elizabeth's daughter site but didn't include a link.
(You know how we all love eye candy)
