Last year I decided I wanted to learn how to do stained glass and mosaics. I signed up for a set of classes in the evenings at a local shop.
It was my first time working with glass, grinders, scoring tools, pinchers, foil, and soldering.
Then I took my knowledge and decided to go BIG -- my bathroom wall became my canvas. I worked on it from January till April faithfully. Then company came and went and more came and went. Finally, I picked up with a new determination and completed my creation this past November.
The grouting process was fun! It feels like making mud pies from my childhood days.
As you can see, I used textured glass. I also chose to leave some of the grout in the grooves of the glass as I like the look.
I have just found a wonderful site to give you some information if you are interested in exploring this craft / artform.

The possibilities are endless. The expression is rewarding.
