Entropy Project Part One

When we moved all our stuff to Fort Collins last Summer, among all the boxes that I packed were two very heavy boxes of colored glass.
These boxes of glass were packed very carefully, and after a journey of 1000 miles, I thought that it would be time to unpack them and see how well they adjusted to the move. I carefully checked each piece; everything seemed to be in order. Nothing was broken, there was no disorder to the system!

"This simply cannot be!", I thought; "Why don't you make a stained glass window for the front door?", Jeanne asked.
"O.K.", I said.
It's not really for the door; there is a half-foot by five foot clear glass window to the left of the front door that needs to be unclear somehow. I had six clear beveled window pieces and enough (I hope!) stained glass to make the design shown to the left of this text.

So, like my other projects, if I post it on the blog, it will remind me to 'Git r done' (Larry the cable guy ain't a bit o' help!)



Here's what we have so far:
30 pieces of rough-cut glass

Breaking glass is fun! It's been done before, and I will finally recycle all that glass that has been collecting dust in the basement!
