Success!

Yay! So I was finally able to get some nice cuts in my glass. And thank goodness for the glass grinder, that thing saved me about three days worth of sanding glass by hand.



I'm pretty much just cutting the glass as close to size as I can get while leaving room for error, and then grinding them the rest of the way down.




And I really need to either get a temp control for my soldering iron, or a new one all together, cause I'm melting through my bits at an alarming rate. But at least I managed to get one piece done. It's pretty rough, and I'm probably gonna go back and touch up the solder, but it's nice to have at least one 'done'.



And it turned out really cute. A little eastern stink bug with some watch gears and paper. Small and cute and shiny.
