Working with stained glass is like life. You don't always get the breaks you want, or that you need. Your piece gains depth from these experiences. It's not like painting or pastels, or even crayons. Glass doesn't come in every color. Sometimes it has flaws, bubbles or texture. You make do; and your piece is more interesting for it. It takes effort and grinding to fit all the pieces together. It's not easy. But there will be a flow and form set up along the solder lines. And sometimes you might even find KINDNESS.
