SCORE! I found someone to take these broken stained glass pieces (that my father made) and repurpose them. They’ve been bothering me because a) I hate throwing away something handmade, even if it’s too broken to reasonably fix, b) stained glass is incredibly expensive, and even small pieces would be useful to some creators and c) that there’s actual lead; it shouldn’t go in the landfill even if the glass does.

He lived in Turkey and Greece before moving to the US, and he has pieces in museums all over. Of all our local yokels, he may be the one with the best claim to the title ‘world famous.’ I mean, just look:Photo credit Penny Knobel-Besa from this website: https://www.gottesthal.com/ Anyway, regarding the glass, he said he’d take it and try to get some use out of it. In addition, I found a third light when I was scooping up the pieces of the two above - and it is unbroken. Which means I do get to keep a piece that my father made, and I found a useful way to get rid of the others. Yay! For my next act, I will capture and medicate the Eldest cat. Without needing stitches myself. Ready … Set … -- source link
