    Here's a stained glass candleholder we made for a Christmas gift.

    We make a lot of this ornament in reds and greens. Most have a white face but they have all flown away. This is my own, part of my black doll collection.

    Very pretty Bethie :D Do tell, how do you set the glass within the metal borders? Do you need special equipment to do this?

    Stained glass has always seemed impossible to me. You do it and you do it so well. I'm impressed!
