First attempt at stained glass.

I signed up for a stained glass workshop and had a great time learning how to cut and grind glass and then soldering it all together. I had no idea how stained glass was made prior to taking this workshop.

I made a gift for my mom--a bluebird of happiness.

The project involved glass chips in my fingers and a small burn from grabbing the soldering iron holder rather than the handle. But I made it out alive and I'm happy with my first piece.
