| 4Sunset's book on mosaics, & have
finally decided that's just the
right medium for end tables &
coffee tables. Jim can weld up
the frames out of scrap iron for next
to nothing. The want a crazy price
for frames in the art stores. I've
decided on a medium of glass over
clear plastic with fiberglass resin
for grout. It's very durable &
reflects the light well. Also, glass
can be collected. One could spend
a fortune on the commercial pot
shards they sell for mosaic. So
now I'm looking for pastly-colored
bottles and pieces of broken glass.
There's lots of milk-bottles white,
7-up green & whiskey brown around,
but the other colors are a little
more difficult to find, We have
a gorgeous blue eye-wash bottle,
that I plan to swipe. Any piece
of glass bigger than a thumbnail
is good, but whole, square bottles
are best, because they present
more flat surfaces & can be cut
to the desired size. A good supply | 4Sunset's book on mosaics, & have
