In the beginning there was a stack of very dangerous glass plates. As they sat there on the desk, they were threatening my every move promising to smear my blood on the floor if I touched them. I waited until I could make my move and suddenly lunged at them, tracing shapes and scratching them and breaking them into pieces. They fought bravely, but I managed to shape and grind their edges down into a smaller, less lethal stack of glass. I then rounded the edges of the razor sharp pieces with sticky foil, placed them on a half of an inverted ceiling tile and pinned them down so they wouldn't leap up and cut my throat. The action was too intense to take photographs while it was happening, but here are some shots after the beast was secured to the board and rendered defenseless.

Here's a bird's eye view of the carnage:

And some close-ups of the lack of artistry and patience given to the destruction of the pile:

And then it was time to get tough. The monster began to howl at the realization that it was pinned to a ceiling tile with the great strength of push pins. It began to shake and move about and I knew it had to be permanently put to rest. I calmed it as best I could by gently rubbing its foiled seams with a brush covered with flux. I knew it would not realize what was about to happen. I slowly reached over and plugged in my soldering iron and waited for it to heat to its greatest temperature of 700 degrees while continuing to stroke the glass with the brush to calm it. Without warning, I grabbed my roll of solder, tapped it to the glass and quickly brought the tip of the soldering iron to it, melting the solder and binding the flux to the foil allowing the solder to flow easily over it securing the dangerous creature's pieces. It screamed! I continued to tack the pieces together with dots of molten tin and lead all around it until I knew it could no longer move.

Was I safe yet? I knew the beast would regain its strength as it lay in silence with dots of cooling metal over its surface. I had to put it away for good. I made sure I had all its seams dabbed with the flux, trying to soothe it more with the brush. When I was certain the foil was ready, I began to quickly seam all of the monster's jagged pieces together. The deed was done. Now all that is left is to bind it in a frame.
