amazing. You are so creative. What is next? Let me guess.
Living artificial peat bog, set within a concrete and glass terrarium, decorated with heat treated coral elves... all dog proof of course. Walk in sized, of course.
Seriously, that is a really cool idea. Make hundreds and sell them at the street fairs. Good for you.

James, Maybe I'm dense, but tell me what I'm looking at. The large masses don't look like any glass I could bury in concrete. Inquiring minds want to know more. Tom

The first image is a piece of agate about the size of 2 fists put together.The second is a chunk of glass about the same size.Both of them were put into a box about 7 x7 x 7 inches and concrete poured around them.Then simply sawed in half.Make sense Tom?

Yes, I get the picture. I understand agates the size of a double fist, but I'm probably biased my the typical way I see glass (long blob tapered at one end and hollowed with a red liquid in the middle and a cork on one end). Are you using masses of glass melted in a forge or some other unique source? Thanks by the way, the technique has unlimited potential. Tom

The glass was a chunk.A bit wedge shaped.I marked the form to know where to make the cut after concrete sets(standard procedure).Clearer glass gives great effects.Can mix marbles/agates whatevers and get cool effects
