Tesserae


Isn't this glass gorgeous?  I just bought it from an eBay seller and it's on the way...it's called Oceana and it's a speciality stained glass that was made in Santa Cruz but no longer made.  I have a ton of glass already but I couldn't resist this; it's a Christmas present from me to me.  Oceana glass is so fabulous; it is always beautiful yet different on both sides.  It's often thicker than other stained glass, and is known for its bold color, mottled texture, and the random edges of the hand-poured pieces.  I just finished an article about tesserae, all about the different qualities of tile, glass, pebbles, costume jewelry, etc. and I will publish it as soon as I take the pictures to go along with it.
