Stained glass set up

Here are the panes of glass and tools I got on Friday from Glass Act. The photos may look blurry, but the colors in the glass are fairly smeared. I did my best to correct the colors as they actually appear.

Tools

Pane 1 
This one reminded me of owl wings or feathers. Unfortunately, this glass has been uncooperative today. When I try to break it along a score, it diverges halfway through, curving to the near edge. I’ve managed to get a few pieces out of the portions that were long/wide enough to use in the pendant frames.

Pane 2

Pane 3
This was the only pane I got with an ID tag on it. It said “Anderson Glass Company” and listed the five colors in the mix. This is the only pane that has some clear portions.

Pane 4

This is the “owl” glass before I started cutting it. The squares on the left are from the last pane. I have five with deep purple and violet colors dominant, and five with blue and green in each. I plan to use these in the 1″ frames to make bracelets.

Photos of the finished pieces will be posted in a couple of days. :)
