Hey thats pretty neat,,make a bunch of them, string em up and hang them where the sun shines in a window. What kind of glass works best for that?

For whatever reason, it seems to be the bottoms of old Clorox bottles...most glass works well though, usually the thicker the better, and also if there's less curvature it's always easier to work with.

Nice work-I find the landshark style flint works well too!

You have a talent! A cobalt blue one would be a nice to look at! Just a thought.

Hey, aren't those old brown Clorox bottles pretty valuable? For some unknown reason, I have found three broken ones around Buggs Island lake. They all had the Clorox letters that protruded in the glass. I also found one whole one. I carried it for near a mile before I remembered I had to trace my steps back. I sat it where I thought I would see it, but never found it again. Lol! Wander if picking up litter over 50 years old is illegal? Nice work. I think those bottles are prettier after you work on them.
