The great thing about working with glass is that there is no waste. I stack scraps and melt them together to make "puddles" or those colorful little cabochons that I can use for jewelry or the centers of flowers and countless other things. I make them when the kiln is not busy firing other things and save them for when I need them. I also like to experiment with them. Today, I put them all in a plate mold and threw it all in the kiln to see if I could get a usable plate out of it. We'll see what happens. If it doesn't work, It's no big deal because I can break them apart and reuse them for something else or I can crush up the glass to get some multi-colored frit (crushed glass).
