When Life Gives You Lemons for $35

You loyal readers might not know what a $35 sheet of fusible glass looks like. And, I'm really quite certain you don't know what my face looks like when I break a $35 piece of glass... unintentionally.

Let's just say that when it happened most recently, I left that shattered piece of glass sitting—for over a month—in its brown wrapped exterior. I dared not look at the remains.

Eventually the sharp pointy shards jutting out of the wrapping forced me to do something with the mess.

Apparently this particular $35 sheet of black fusible glass wanted to be a tiger. The stripes on this here pasta bowl are exactly as they were out of the "ruined" package. I also made 2 tiger-striped candle bridges.

Here's hoping someone shopping at No Coast likes pink and/or 1980s-retro styled things that may or may not resemble spandex leggings worn by David Lee Roth circa 1985. It can be yours for only $65.

Alternate title for this post: Eye of the Tiger

In the end it was a very happy accident! I'm happy to say that this dish has found a good home -- I won't say where as it is a holiday gift for a lucky lady!
