I was wondering if you all could make some suggestions as to what to do with this gift I got yesterday. It is a beautiful turquoise colored, 8 1/4 inch in diameter, round glass lense that was taken from a broken traffic light. It has a 1/4 inch flat edge around it. Did you know that the green traffic lights are actually turquoise glass and that there is a yellowish bulb inside that makes it glow green? I found that very interesting! Anyway, I have this beautiful lense, and would like to do something with it so I could hang it on my sliding glass door in my familyroom - I just LOVE the color, as it goes great with my southwestern decor.
What I am looking for is suggestions as to how to hang it? How to wrap something around it, or encase it so it could have the light shine through from the window...
All and any ideas would be greatly welcomed! Thanks! Lynne
