Whooo weeee!!! I love it!! How'd you do it? Is it on plywood that you mounted?

Cacbeary, this is sooooo pretty! I also agree that its a new family heirloom!

WOW!! That's awesome! Do tell your secrets! Is the star painted and then crash glass over?

Here's a close up & you'll see what I did. Traced the star & just used my wheeled nippers on it & the blue background is triangles. Triangles were 1/2" squares. The white in the star is tiny. But the rectangles were only 3/8" x 5/8" so had to keep it tiny.

I didn't realize how small the rectangles were until I did a whole sheet of glass & started breaking apart & thought what was I thinking?

OHGOODGRIEF. What perfection! LOVE this. I KNOW what you mean about 1/2 squares into triangles. I did that ONCE on a candle shelter. Not fun. You've done such a wonderful job on this bench.
