Yellow Daisy Egg
My pets are in awe of these beautiful eggs—they would love to try to paint their own one year. Easter and spring are times of joy as the earth awakens, plants are pushing forth from the soil, and the days are becoming warmer. Many baby animals are born in the spring, and life is burgeoning. May these eggs bring you joy and be a reminder of the earth renewing itself.

Crushed Glass Mosaic Art
This is a stunning example of glass art. Making crushed glass art is a great way to recycle glass and turn it into a beautiful and unique piece of art. The steps involved in making crushed glass art are fairly simple, and with the right materials and safety precautions, you can easily create a one-of-a-kind work of art.

Have you ever wondered how businesses get their logos etched onto their glass surfaces? By acid-etching with hydrofluoric acid, glass manufacturers are able to achieve that engraved and frosted look

We’ve all gotten used to driving in cars with windshields that are made of shatter-proof laminated glass, but it hasn’t always been this way. The first windshields were made out of regular glass that’s used for standard windows. Of course, the main problem with this was how easily the glass would shatter during an accident, which became a major safety hazard. Even Henry Ford himself was injured by flying glass shards because of this. That was until he decided that something needed to be done to lower the cost of the glass and make it safer. As a result, one of his employees, along with a British glass manufacturer, produced a new process that made our windshield glass safer, stronger, and more cost effective.

Neon Nudge
Set off your bar wall décor with this eye-catching neon bar sign to create a welcoming vibe and notch up the look of your place! It's the perfect accessory to jazz up your home bar. Neon was discovered in 1898 and the name comes from the Greek neos, meaning 'new'. It is the second Noble gas and is the fifth most abundant element in the universe. Only red signs contain pure neon; the other colours combine neon with other gases.

@ Neon Nudge
Beautiful stained glass windows have been crafted all the way back since 400AD! It was Christian churches that first started using stained glass in their windows. Today, the method to produce it is hasn’t changed since the Middle Ages.

Those mason glass jars you love to ferment foods in, fill with plants and herbs, and bottle your tomato sauce in have been around a lot longer than you may suspect. Canning jars with screw tops were first made back in 1858 and have changed very little over the years in design and function.

@ Through a Glass Brightly
Not all colours of glass can be recycled together. Mixing glass hues diminishes the quality of the recycled product and thus the ability to sell it. What is the problem with recycling coloured glass? Simply put, not all glass "recipes" are the same. Nowadays, almost all glass formulas use recycled glass content in place of other raw materials. This is not only economically efficient, but it also saves precious resources. This technique can only work if the recycled glass is recycled properly by colour and reflectivity. So coloured glass requires a bit of special handling.

Cathedral Stained Glass Window
The art of creating stained glass windows to decorate churches and cathedrals is over a thousand years old. It took very skilled craftsmen to create them. Stained glass is glass that has been coloured by adding metallic salts during its manufacture, and normally by then further decorating it in various ways. Many large windows have withstood the elements for over hundreds of years and remained for the most part intact since the late mediaeval time.

@ Cathedral Stained Glass Window
Using glass in windows has only been common practice since the early 17th century. Before this time, windows were seen as a luxury item for the rich and affluent.

We’re all used to driving cars with windscreens made of shatter-proof laminated glass. However, the first windscreens were made from the normal glass used for house windows. The main problem with this was how easily the glass would shatter during an accident, which was of course a major safety hazard. Even Henry Ford himself was injured by flying glass shards from a broken windscreen. He decided that something needed to be done to make windscreens safer. One of his employees, along with a British glass manufacturer, produced a new process that made windscreen glass stronger and safer.
