Here's a look at my latest project!

Who makes things with glass and with class?  I DO!  After a LOT of headaches and trial and error, I finally completed my very first glass house!  Excuse how dirty it is, but I need a certain chemical to clean off the flux and where it burned...  I'm too excited to wait for it to be shipped, so deal!  haha.  Anyway, this thing was a lot of work--I had to learn how to accurately cut glass (those little red glass cutters you get at home depot DO NOT cut it), I had to learn a thing or two about soldering, AND I had to learn that you can't just solder glass to glass... you need to do a lot of prep with things like copper foil and flux.

So, without further ado:























I know it's ugly and is missing things like symmetry and accuracy, but it's my first shot and I'm proud!  And, I promise to get better! :)

Finally...

 finally got my recycled aluminum can Angelfish into a frame.  I gave him a few friends and some nice scenery to look at.  :)  Enjoy!
