This is our local Fire Co and it has just been restored to look as it did 130 years ago. I did a vinyl cut out on a glass block and I am thrilled with the results.
I need to get amber lights instead of the clear but I have not found them yet. Otherwise I think for all the detail this turned out terrific.

"MY FAVORITE QUOTES"
If you have a favorite share it with me...
Everytime you SMILE :-) It's like an instant vacation
Everyone has a photographic memory, Some just don't have film.''
If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours..
My theory of housework is, if the item doesn't multiply,
smell, catch fire or block refridgerator door, let it be.
No one else cares, why should you? Erma Bombeck

Every day is a new beginning. Learn the skill of forgetting.
And move on.--Norman Vincent Peale
Grandchildren complete lifes circle of LOVE
WORK like you don't need the money, LOVE like you've never been hurt, and DANCE like no ones watching..
A DREAM is a WISH your heart makes...
NEVER be afraid to try something new..Remember
amateurs built the ark... Professionals built the Titanic
When you were born you were crying and everyone around ws smiling.. live your life so whe you die, you are smilin and everyone around you is crying..
All I ask is to be able to prove money can't make me happy !!

It looks nice! Another thought would be to do the negative of that same vinyl cut and do glass etching... I've done a few of the glass blocks and used them as banks...

What a great job! I would definitely do a glass etching and then drill a whole at the side of the glass block and use those Christmas lights inside. The cord would hang out and you could plug it in!
Beautiful work, you must be soooo proud and I bet the folks at the firehouse would be too!
