Step 1: The stained glass is crushed to approx. 1 mm in size with a hammer after placing it in bags.

Step 2: The crushed glass is run through various strainers to remove the large pieces and sand.

Step 3: An image is placed behind a clear glass sheet. Using a magnifying glass and toothpicks a tiny area is covered with glue. Tweezers are used to pick up one glass sliver at a time to place onto the glue.

Step 4: A positioning tool aids in packing the glass tightly, then more glue is applied and the process repeated.
