  • Basic Guide to Bottle Identification Say You're Planting a New Tree in Your
    Basic Guide to Bottle Age Identification Say you’re planting a new tree in your backyard, and you dig a hole deeper than you’ve had to dig before. In the hole you find a glass bottle that you didn’t put there. How can you identify the bottle? How can you tell if it is old or just a piece of modern recycling that the previous owner left behind? Below please find a basic guide to help you identify a bottle’s age. Bottle identification is a rabbit hole that I’ve found fun to fall into; one bottle can take hours to research, and sometimes, you can’t find anything on it at all! In addition, manufacturing technological advances were adopted over time, not all at once, so older techniques were used at the same time as newer ones. This makes determining exact age for a bottle that wasn’t machine-made a little tricky. But, by looking at a few basic characteristics, you can learn if you want to toss your find in the recycling bin or place it at the center of your mantle. If you are interested in discovering more, I’ve listed some helpful web sites at the end. If you just want a basic guide, hope this helps! How was the bottle made? The first thing that I do when I handle a bottle is look at the construction – the sides, the top or lip, and the base. Free-Blown - Bottles were blown by hand in antiquity, and free-blown bottles were the main manufacturing technique used before the mid-1800s for utilitarian bottles.

  • The Colors of Sea Glass Where Do They Come From?
    The Colors Of Sea Glass Where Do They Come From? ...Just where do the colors of beach glass come from? Sea Glass is simply old glass products that were thrown into the sea, But, "Sea Glass is JUST GLASS, like Diamonds are JUST ROCKS"© It takes decades for broken glass to "become" sea glass. If you think about it, the common colors of sea glass, Green, Brown & White are still in wide use today......Rarer colors of seaglass are pieces that the color has not been made or used commercially for many years. We have broken the colors into rarity categories, it is a general rule and not to be carved in stone (or glass!) as certain colors can be found more readily in some areas. For Example, lavender glass can be a rarity in areas yet abundant in Maine & Canada but hardly ever found in the islands. Next time you're in an antique shop or flea market, look at the glass items and see if you haven't found a piece of glass this color! By The Sea Jewelry is proud to offer the finest Genuine Sea Glass Jewelry in just about every color of sea glass in the world! This glass knowledge is based on 28 years of collecting and decades of researching the origins of our glass. (Place your mouse over or tap the images to reveal what the sea glass looks like in this glass color and then a corresponding piece of our jewelry in that color) Common - White, Green, Brown found in most beach combing locations throughout the world.

  • Gracie 2021.Pdf
    NR is pleased to present the Gracie collection in collaboration with Gracie, makers of handpainted wallpaper since 1898. For this collection, five Gracie designs were selected for interpretation into glass mosaic. The designs were chosen to represent historic themes, from Roman and Chinese antiquity to the late BLYTHEDUNES BLYTHEDUNES FRENCH DECO Japanese Edo period, and French Art Deco. Gracie’s intricate designs were transformed into mosaic by New Ravenna’s master mosaicists through varied techniques, colors, and textures. First, scaling a dynamic section of each design to new dimensions, the designs were replicated in both the original colors of the handpainted wallpaper and a New Ravenna customized palette. Central motifs were created in reflective FRENCH DECO LINDA’S GARDEN jewel glass allowing the natural hand mixed variation of the glass sheets to replicate the feel of a handpainted surface. Tumbled Sea Glass™ was used as background material to allow the characters in each design to remain dominant, and Gracie’s metallic leaf pigments were honored by using honed antique mirror and 24 karat gold glass. New Ravenna mosaicists used two techniques: hand nipping glass into similar LINDA’S GARDEN WAVE AND BLOSSOM WAVE AND BLOSSOM size shapes in the traditional mosaic method and scoring the glass to create larger organic shapes – a method which is traditional of stained glass. Depending on the intricacy of the design, a panel of any size will take several weeks and multiple artisans to complete. Mosaics in the Gracie collection can be customized in size, color, and scale to suit the designer’s preferences. WAVES WAVES 2 © 2021 NEW RAVENNA NewRavenna.com 3 R Linda’s Garden Inspired by an ancient frescoed Roman villa which Linda Gracie admired on her travels to Italy.

  • Glossary of Jewellery Making and Beading Terms
    Glossary of Jewellery Making and Beading Terms A jewellery glossary of beading terms and jewellery making terminology combining clear images with easy to understand dictionary like definitions. This bead glossary also provides links to more in depth content and bead resources. It can be used as a beading A to Z reference guide to dip into as needed, or as a beading and jewellery glossary for beginners to help broaden beading and jewellery making knowledge. It is particularly effective when used alongside our Beading Guides, Histories, Theories and Tutorials, or in conjunction with our Gemstones & Minerals Glossary and Venetian Glass Making Glossary. A ABALONE These edible sea creatures are members of a large class of molluscs that have one piece shells with an iridescent interior. These shells have a low and open spiral structure, and are characterized by several open respiratory pores in a row near the shell’s outer edge. The thick inner layer of the shell is composed of a dichroic substance called nacre or mother-of-pearl, which in many species is highly iridescent, giving rise to a range of strong and changeable colors, making it ideal for jewellery and other decorative objects. Iridescent nacre varies in colour from silvery white, to pink, red and green- red, through to deep blues, greens, and purples. Read more in our Gemstones & Minerals Glossary. Above are examples of Paua and Red Abalone. ACCENT BEAD Similar in purpose to a Focal Bead, this is a bead that forms the focus for a piece of jewellery, but on this occasion rather then through its size, it is usually through contrast.

    Nature of Glass Curriculum © 2014 Nature of Glass Curriculum © 2014 INTRODUCTION (1 OF 2) CURRICULUM OVERVIEW Introduction Since opening in 2012, Chihuly Garden and Glass has partnered with Seattle Public Schools to enhance learning using the artwork of Dale Chihuly. The Nature of Glass is an innovative sixth-grade science curriculum that immerses students in Chihuly’s installations and provides teaching resources aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)*. The Nature of Glass Curriculum enables students to appreciate the science and engineering behind the creation and exhibition of works of art created in glass. Summary The Nature of Glass Curriculum is divided into three sections: • Pre-visit Resources • Visit Resources • Post-visit Resources The Curriculum Resources Chart lists all components. Each resource has a companion teacher’s guide with lesson plans, evaluation tools, and teaching tips to facilitate its use. Using the pre-visit resources and the Student Visit Booklet, students examine aspects of the essential question: what is the nature of glass? The post-visit resources help students understand and apply their experiences with glass while exploring connections to other science, engineering, and art content. The visit resources are organized around three NGSS Crosscutting Concepts that link glass to broader scientific topics: • Patterns • Energy and Matter • Structure and Function The Nature of Glass Curriculum provides an efficient and exciting science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) learning opportunity to Seattle’s sixth graders. *Next Generation Science Standards is a registered trademark of Achieve.

  • Glass Reefs Nourish the Marine Environment Capt
    Glass Reefs Nourish the Marine Environment Capt. Joseph H. (Cass) Forrington, B.S. United States Merchant Marine Academy, Kings Point, NY 1972, Cum Laude Email: [email protected] PH: 707-357-1585 Keywords: reefs; glass; glass reefs; sea glass; glass beaches; Fort Bragg; glass recycling; minerals; food chain; marine environment; Abstract Glass is made with soda, lime and silica and is colored and clarified with minerals. The glass dissolves in water, especially salt water, releasing the minerals and forming the basis of a food chain. Terracotta shards, being earthenware that is also colored with minerals, also leach out minerals. Microfauna and flora, tiny shrimp, insects and isopods thrive between the shards, further enhancing the food chain. Fort Bragg, California’s, world famous glass beaches have created the richest marine environment in at least northern California and provide an excellent opportunity to study the beneficial effects of the glass and terracotta shards. With landfills moving farther from the municipalities they serve, it is becoming far more economically and environmentally sound to locally recycle, and for communities near the coast to create glass and terracotta reefs to nourish the marine environment, instead of sending their glass and terracotta to landfills. 1 Introduction The author established and operates what is now the world-famous Sea Glass Museum in Fort Bragg. California, home to the highest concentration of “sea glass” in the world situated on 3 separate beaches and their auxiliary coves. He is not a marine biologist but learned the basis of this paper from a marine biologist he met at the beach one day shortly after beginning his sea glass jewelry business in 2005 or 2006.
