Repurposed glass

I am new on Hometalk. During the cold winter here in the Texas panhandle, I enjoy putting together glass that I find in thrift stores and at garage sales. Seeing all the creative ways people repurpose things on Pinterest and this site have inspired me to try my hand at it. I have had so much fun! You need to click on the pictures of some of these to see the whole piece.
A gazing ball made from a bell, a bowl, a heavy purple art-glass vase atop a heavy inverted clear vase with a yellow flowered paper weight nestled inside and mounted on a cake platter. It is over 2 feet tall! Assembled by Nita Hooper

A "candle" to light your way. Amberina praying hands on a dish with a crackle-glass inverted vase. I plan to put this over a light source to make it really sparkle. Glass redefined and assembled by Nita Hooper.
