We start off with beautiful partial sheets of 12"x12" glass. We purchase our glass from a few different places, depending upon availability and time. Sometimes HL ...sometimes glass shops that carry excellent quality glass. We of course, buy more than we need so that we "have options". Chooseing glass for a project is a project in and of itself.

After we create a pattern, either bought or dreamed up, we cut the class. This picture shows after we have cut our pieces out and this is what is left over. As you can see....lots of scraps are left. 

But....

We have found the most perfect of ways to use scraps. We use them for embellishments on so many things, we fuse them, use in broken glass windows, mosaics and other glass art pieces. 

NOTHING GOES TO WASTE
