I found some glass light fixtures at a yard sale for a couple of bucks a piece. I love beveled glass, but it's so expensive. I took apart the lights, foiled and soldered and hung a crystal in the center. You should see them when the sun hits them!

They weren't hard at all, I did 4 in one day and then cut some stained glass and made more till I ran out of solder.

Beautiful! I've always been interested in stained glass work, guess I'm gonna have to give it a try. Got a friend that does it, he can teach me what I need to know--basics. Then find some neat pieces like yours.
