It's all about the Reuse

I've been thinking for some time about how to reuse the broken or unsellable work that I have.  You can only use so many pieces for pencil jars!  I had an idea to create a hotplate from the broken pieces and scrap glass that I have.  The results are interesting. Perhaps more suited for wall art -  I will be researching this idea a little more.  What do you think?
