what to do with broken bottles and shards of glass

[Dragon0421]

I have seen some wild stuff you all do so i thought i would start this thread i was looking to see what everyone could do with what they have i have a barrell of broke glass that i have made charms out of for people but i have also seen you all do lamp shades and other great things. Was wondering what you all do with yours. Lets see what you got.

I know a lady in NV that uses large pieces to make wind chimes, sells them to tourist on the way to Death Valley. I always thought of grinding down the sharp edges, polishing them up and making pendants out of the colored pieces, much like I do with agates and jaspers.

Decorative accessories are good.

See through shoes are always nice.

A bit too much rigaree for everyday wear though.

Soviet Jewry.

I'm making a display room in my basement for my bottles, In part of it I thought of an idea for shards and broken bottles, as some are so nice even broken all to heck. I was thinking of getting and old Bath tub or big bucket filling it with some rocks and dirt and "burying" some of the broken bottles and shards making a "mini bottle dump" in the bottle room.

I keep all the broken neck tops, they look cool strung on a wire, also if I start finding neck tops I know I have not hunted the area.

Bottles with top/lip damage, I put into my gardens, top down. We use hock wines and other big uglies also . Cheaper than reflecting globes and I don't care if the animals knock them over and break.
Bigger shards, especially pottery, we use in rock gardens/walls, stone paths, around bases of perrenials.
Doll heads , nice slug plates, anything with eye appeal and not sharp, we'll use on the surface of potted plants.

Fill up some mason jars and put them in the windows.
