Yellow Triangle

Griffin lets Mom and Grandpa borrow the bottom floor of his tree house workshop for their stained glass. He likes to design stained glass projects of his own.
One thing he makes in his workshop is small turned dowels. He doesn't have a lathe, so he uses a drill to hold the dowels and carve them while they are spinning. He also made wooden beads by cutting sections of a tree branch with his hacksaw, and then drilled a  hole through each piece. Then he decided that he wanted to find a way to incorporate these wooden parts into a stained glass project. He had fun delivering them to the stained glass studio by dropping them through a hole in the floor.

For the Yellow Triangle he chose existing scraps of glass to make a modern art piece with minimal support points. He drilled a hole in the gray glass with his dremel tool so that a wire could go through. I wonder how this would look if it was 100 times larger?

For the Wood Series, he chose glass that reminded him of wood colors, and cut it so that it would NOT be square. He had the idea of making a set of coasters that could also hang on the wall as art, but decided that they didn't need to be functional.
