This inspires me to try mosaics next. This mosaic cat is a wonderful example of the versatility of this medium.
It is interesting that shades of purple and blue, lime green, and white can be combined to make a very realistic picture of a cat. A good choice of grout color makes all the difference, too.

Here is a unique stained glass panel of the character Link from the Legend of Zelda video game. Link’s right arm swirled back to throw the boomerang is very Celtic. Nice glass choices by the stained glass artist, Lynda MacRae

I love these stained glass versions of a d20 (20-sided dice) used by gamers for table top role playing games. This gives me yet another project to add to my list.
I have made little sea shell and sand pyramids (will post photo soon,) but now I want to try making d20s or some other size of die. At least I won’t have to worry about filling it with sand and shells before I finish soldering.
Looks like the numbers on the three dimensional dice are made from solder on copper foil overlays. Maybe the numbers could be painted on?

The popular board game podcast, The Spiel, featured a unique piece of art in this week’s episode: stained glass D20’s (20 sided dice). While only tangentially related to gaming (as they definitely can’t be rolled more than once), these items are so gorgeous that they deserve further mention.
