Glass Art

I once spent months on a large stained glass oval panel of a Hawaiian girl putting a flower in her hair. I painstakingly painted her face with special glass paint and had it fired to perfection then cut each strand of hair from one sheet of large tortoise-shell colored glass, and it was a miracle that no pieces broke, due to the long wavy design; it was as close to perfection you could get with all the grains in the glass going the same way. Then one day a lamp fell on it and cracked it :-(
