I chose to make a big stained glass window in our living room. Ever since I was younger, I liked the appearance of stained glass when the light catches it and I have always wanted it in my very own home when I could afford it. After taking a few soldering courses I felt confident enough to make my very own stained glass window. I had all the materials I needed, liquid flux no clean, soldering flux pen, lead solder wire and soldering iron wire. I planned on putting copper foil on it as well to make it look a little like a Tiffany lamp. My household was amazed by the amount of idea I have put into the project however by staying focused and taking note of each information I was sure I could make something attractive. It started out promising. I was able to select the perfect glass pieces and was able to fit every little thing together so it was just a matter of putting it together. The first thing that failed was that I used silver soldering wire at first. This caused everything to look a little off and the metal did not all match. I figured it would not matter because I would put copper all over it so I continued. Then it got too hot and the glass started breaking. I took a break at this point to not get annoyed. I was so astounded that I was having such a difficult time. When I returned to it I attempted using a various kind of solder liquid flux. The solder was still breaking the glass and after I had torn through half of my glass I determined it was time to get creative. I began making a brand new collage of the glass and tried to make it gorgeous. After days of work I finally made it work. I concentrated on each small piece of glass and was able to finally put it together. It was abstract and did not have any pattern to it but I thought it was a special piece that would work completely in our family room. As soon as everything was set I finally was confident enough to put it in our window. Our living room has a big box window that was ideal for a stained glass window in the center. I carefully took out the main pane and replaced it with the stained glass pane. I stood back and the sun shone through all the dynamic colors. Sadly, my spouse and children were away on a camping trip so I had to wait and see what they thought in a couple of days. Until then I gazed at the window throughout warm afternoons or in the morning as I enjoyed my morning coffee while making considering the hard work I had done. When my family came home I might hardly wait to show them my work. My spouse and children went to see it and stared at it for about a minute. I looked at them, worried, and asked them they thought. My 14-year-old son looks at me and eloquently states, "Mom, it sort of looks like Seth Rogen." here
