Born in 1848, Tiffany (whose father started the Tiffany jewelry store), was a very fine painter but is best known for his work in stained glass. You can see many examples of his work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art — why not make a trip to NYC to check them out? http://gonyc.about.com/od/photogalleries/ig/Metropolitan-Museum-of-Art/Autumn-Landscape.htm

In the mean time, you can make your own “stained glass” by following these easy instructions — and this is a perfect use for broken crayons. Spread out newspaper and make crayon shavings (a small pencil sharpener is perfect for this). Cover the ironing board with newspaper and sprinkle the crayon shavings on a square of wax paper. Cover with another square of wax paper and more newspaper. Press the paper with a warm iron until the wax of the crayons is melted. These look beautiful hung in the window or you can add a frame made out of construction paper.
