I found these in the basement of my new church that was built over the old one. I played around with the pieces and made a large heart shape out of them. I would somehow like to preserve the shards in that position, mounting it on the wall of my church. But how do it create that with simple cheap material, not exceeding $50? Maybe two panes of glass sandwiching the shards?

If you have no other choice, I’d probably glue the pieces to another sheet of glass, using one of the transparent epoxies ("water white epoxy" or something like E6000 adhesive. That way, it can be mounted into a light box so you can still enjoy the old glass colors. If you want to put it on an opaque backing, then it becomes "mosaic", and though it can be pretty, it (imo) lacks the life of glass with transmitted light.

Do you have anyone in your church who does copper foil stained glass work? That would also produce something that can be hung in your church. Or, fused glass? (a fused glass artist will need scraps of the same glass to figure out if they’re all compatible — if so, your shape can then be fused together to become a new, solid piece of glass.) Both of these techniques would be too expensive to hire someone to do, but a church member might be willing to donate the time.

BTW, mosaic stepping stones and small panels tend to be good fundraisers.

Cutting old glass can be a bit tricky, but learning the basics of cutting glass is pretty easy, fwiw.

Have you ever seen the Tiffany glass chapel done for the 1893 Worlds Fair?
http://www.morsemuseum.org/collection/tiffany_chapel.html — the second photo there shows some mosaic glass detail.

Perhaps your church might want to use some of the glass you’ve recovered for decoration of something like a baptismal font base, too.

This fire began as a lightning strike on June 6, and grew to over 3000 acres by June 18. While Medano Canyon is closed during the fire, the majority of the 150,000 acre park has not been affected by fire or smoke.

Fire is a natural and necessary part of a healthy forest. Occasional fires benefit forests by removing dead material, adding nutrients to the soil, and regenerating aspen trees and other species. Fire officials are carefully managing the Medano Fire for multiple resource objectives, while protecting cultural sites and private property.

Not true. He was definitely interested in maintaining and promoting shavery in order to keep things nice and neat "down there". His wife was a faithful proponent of shavery.

True story.
