i just love this stained glass ebtrance with the metalic

wall paper and chandilier....

but i do believe i could make these stained glass doors

work perfectly!

very cool alternative christmas trees...

this is the worlds largest glass

christmas tree...

this tree was made by a group of glass blowers

and is 25 feet tall

Fiber Optic Christmas tree...

usually these are extremely tacky

but this one is done right!

this tree is made from glass water bottles

and took two days to assemble...
