What A Unique Glass Recyling Idea !

Suncatchers ! That is what is being manufactured in Ohio with recycled glass bottles. Glass ReFactory in Appalachia melts glass, then stamps it with a design. This glass melting company in Georgetown is one of the few places in the world that melts beer and wine bottles.

Once melted the molten glass is set in a circular mold and then a design is stamped into it.
They are called sun or light catchers. This is a great idea. Now they will be kept longer as a souvenir and not just thrown out as trash. Truly, one man's trash is another man's treasure.

I love arts and crafts to begin with and I would love to learn how to o stained glass work someday. The idea of recycling or purposing something into a craft is even more appealing. I would like to find one of those nice rectangular panels that hang from a chain for my mom's picture window. I think it would really look awesome with the morning light.
