Instructions:

Sketch or trace your image on the glass with the dry erase marker.  Placing your glass pieces from biggest to smallest simplifies assembly. Once everything is in place, glue the pieces in several at a time. For shading fun, Weldbond can be mixed with ink and/or paint.  The Liquid Lead makes a fantastic dark line around the edges.
