Feel free to point others at this. My thanks for any info or help.
I've got a piece of stained glass I find lovely. Sadly, it was injured several years ago when it was dropped, and I've never known what to do with it since. I can't just hang it as is. One corner has small shards falling out.
Stained Glass People: Can this be fixed?
As best I can tell (by looking through the clear bits) the seams between the glass pieces are lead, not copper with flux. The piece is about 11x17 overall and is framed in a thin metal edge. That frame would have to be removed and redone afterward. Three triangular pieces at the corners would need replacing; they are clear glass with a very subtle texture, for which clear glass with no texture at all would be a good enough match for me.
Any hope?
(If not, what's a good way to dispose of it? Glass recyclers can't do anything with it, can they?)
