Good day and welcome to The Art Alchemist's Guild.
This is a dark place.
Most art will leave you feeling inspired, maybe even joyful — if not a little thoughtful. Not this art.
Most art makes people better, but this place can only make you worse, poorer, stained, and consumed by the craft.
All flavors are welcome to:
Be kind
Do onto others with kindness, curiosity and civility.

I cheated at making "seaglass" with my rock tumbler. Since I enjoy the soldering of stained glass more than cutting and shaping, I put my pieces together in random order so I can have more colourful sun beams.
I like that it looks like an assortment of lunchmeats.
That's what I told your mom.
Sorry, I had to.
Nope.
how do you do these?
Pretty much the same method as stained glass, using copper foil tape around the edges of the stained glass pieces, plus copper wire for the little extra bits, all soldered together.
Here's a how-to on how to make stained glass art, if you need more of an explanation: https://www.instructables.com/How-To-Stained-Glass/
