Blue Motley
Outbackbob48:
Bjrogg, I had a pc of blue glass probably 18 x24 salvaged out of a construction site, I cut them up into 2"x6" pcs and I start with them, See if I can get a pics for ya. Original glass starts out at 1/4" and ends up at just under 3/16 on this one. This finished point ended up being 5- 3/8 x 1- 3/8" I lost quite a bit of width due to trying to build convexity and not paying attention to pushing each flake to it's fullest. Bob

Once again nice point Outback, cool that you repurposed that glass. Nice score. About 25 years ago our church elders wanted our stain glass chandlers changed to frosted glass. My family took them down and refurbished them. We saved the old glass for the church for many years but eventually someone must have got rid of it. Wish I had it now, asked about it but no one knows where it went

A Motley was inside a hunk of my glass too.
I never knew what to call this one.
