Glass is ok to play with and makes cool points, but i think i Pic frame would be to thin.

The glass your speaking of is usally thin.You could pressure flake thin glass but hitting it with a bopper will most likely break the glass.

Aero,

Use the flat bottoms of larger beer and wine bottles....those work much better.  They are thicker.  Window or picture frame glass is just way too thin....you'll get frustrated because it breaks way too easily.

you could go to a recycling center and start going thru their bottles....that way you wouldn't destroy your liver in the process....

If you have any type of glass shop stop by and talk with them they should 1/4" plate glass scraps and
for a few bucks might cut them into preforms for ya.

I am still in the process of collecting material.  I got a bunch of TV screens.

Does anyone know what the coating is on the back of a TV screen?  I hope it isn't lead.
