the biggest issue with making stained glass so far is the little glass splinters in my fingers. there are very few (many fewer than i'd thought) enormous glass shards shooting straight for one's little unprotected eyeballs. but little tiny unseeable bits that only make themselves known when you try to grab something? yeah, bunches of those.

i am taking the class at glass endeavors which is right down the street from me. nice people. gorgeous glass.
