A smashing good time!

Hulbert, OK(Zone 7a)

Many of you may be familiar with mosaics using
shattered glass. In fact, there are several pieces at
Hobby Lobby and Garden Ridge with this very technique.
Yet another project on my 'wanna do' list.

Some time ago, a local window repair shop gave
me a good sized sheet of glass from an automobile
window. Today was the day I decided to smash it!

I cleaned the glass, then cleaned off an area on
the porch. Not knowing whether we had safety
glass or tempered glass, hubby and I prepared for
a possible bounce. Thinking it was going to take a
major blow to shatter it, he chose a big rock, held
it above his head and chunked it down.

SMASH!

It sounded like breaking ice. In fact, as I type this, it
is a good hour since he broke the pane and it is still
making cracking noises.
