Stained Glass & Mosaics

Small Light Block

15 years ago

This is a birthday gift for a friend. It's a small block that I got at Lowe's. I used the ring saw for the vines and sable brown grout filled it in nicely. I used copper craft wire for the swirls on the sides and the top. It is really not to orangy when lighted in real life.
