For this particular method, I'm just going to go ahead and lay the piece of glass on top of the pattern. We've already selected our glass, I'm going to use a green, a purple, and an orange, and possibly some of this multi-colored, if you can see that right there. So, I'm going to start with the body first of this butterfly. And you want to look and find the particular piece of glass that you want to have on your piece of finished glass. So I centered that exactly how I want it, and now it's time to start cutting."
