[Cob] Decorative Glass Windows

[Yun Que]

   Cat here!

   Saw a lovely window made of miscellaneous thrift store glass plates
   and saucers, all leaded together and set into a frame. It had a
   dazzling effect. I would expect that anything that elaborate would
   need to be pre-hung in a frame that would take the shrinking of the
   cob so that the glass work is not stressed. For those who don't know
   building that would mean the frame holding the glass fits into a frame
   set in the cob. Molded in or on hinges.

   for the good of all C.

     >Dulane: There are some really nice bottle cutting kits available
     on the Internet that you can use to cut colored bottles. I use a
     clear bottle for the outside and a blue or green bottle as the
     inside of my lights and I wrap the combination in Aluminum foil so
     that all the light that enters the outside bottle will be reflected
     to the inner wall. If you get bottles that telescope you can adjust
     them for the thickness of your wall. I like to have my lights
     intersect candle niches so that I can illuminate a point on the
     outside of my wall at night.
