    NEAT! I just happen to have a piece of plexi from where we took out an interior window.

    Good idea.

    Well I was wondering if this site had just laid down and died. I will send Jane an email and tell her she's been called. She has the same problem that I do in signing on. The changes are absolutely mind-boggling. Why did they have to mess up a good thing. I almost won't post because of the stupid things I have to go through. I would hate to think how long it would take me to find out how to post a picture of my latest clay projects.

    Well don't you be so wordy, girlie. Tell the group what you have going creatively, por favor - new thread and all. This forum has suddenly died. Hate to see it. Since I don't do mosaics anymore, I have nothing to offer, unless I post on the conversation side, if there still is one w/these awful changes.

    Hi Everyone!!! I cut this out with a plexiglass saw blade on my jigsaw, and it went easy peasy!!! I just had my bro in law tell me that I can heat up the edges with a butane torch and it would make the edges where I cut > clear!!! dunno if I will do it to this one cuz of the glass is already on it but will do it to the next one, as I have scraps from this cutout. Projects are too many to count this year, but I will get my slate patio done soon, so will post pics for that! It will have a dragonfly in it!! 10ft x 10ft front door patio. anyhoo, hope this answered some questions...oh and it is 14" across.
