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.

@ Street through Raindrops
There are three ways to see things in life. You can either look at the glass as half empty like a pessimist, half full like an optimist, or you can be an engineer and realize that the glass is bigger than required.

@ Windowsill with Flowers and Jug
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.

@ Through a Glass Brightly
At this time, most glass bottles and jars today contain at least 25 percent recycled glass. That’s another reason why it’s important to keep recycling your glass bottles — every little bit helps to reduce unnecessary waste in our landfills.

@ Marbles in Blue and Purple
Did you know that glass can be recycled infinitely without wearing out or losing its quality over time? The fact that it won’t deteriorate with use and age makes it one of the easiest materials to recycle.

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
There is one type of glass that hardly ever cracks or breaks into shards — tempered glass. This kind only breaks under extreme pressure, and when it does, it breaks into smaller granules, not shards. How does this work? By super-cooling glass that’s first heated to more than 600 degrees Celsius in a tempering oven. This process causes the outer layer to cool much faster than the inner layer, creating superior strength.

@ Urban Glass, Pink and Blue
Glass is not clear in its natural form. It’s actually a greenish colour! To get clear glass, the iron content in the molten glass formula must be reduced. To produce dark green glass (aka "bottle green"!) chromium, copper or iron is added to molten glass. Green glass is essential for wine bottles, as it protects the contents from exposure to the sun and extremes of temperature.

@ Champagne for Two
There’s a reason why glass beer bottles are brown and not clear. The amber tint is designed to reflect any UV light that would otherwise spoil the contents. You’ll find brown glass commonly used for food and drink bottles and even windows to prevent fade and deterioration of upholstery.

Rustic Window
It has surely seen better days ... perhaps this house has been abandoned, and the exterior allowed to fall into disrepair. Whatever the situation, this shot of a old building, perhaps a former farmhouse or barn, has a great atmosphere, particularly with the reflection in the window panes ...
