Beautiful stuff Roger. When I was visiting my son in Okinawa, Japan, we went to a glass factory. They have some beautiful things. He sent us a set of small glasses.

I love your trees.

Hi Roger I used to work at brack way glass company in Rosemount MN when I was young. and I check beer and pop bottles when they came through and packed them.I worked there for three years until I had my third child. we watch the bottles for cracks, and wings which ment the had a some glass that was in side the bottle that ran all the way across the bottle. some times the bottles that were not made right we got to keep. were beautiful.glass was made out mostly sand.
this is what it looked like very interesting kids from school came through all the time.

Karen,

That was SOOOOOOOO beautiful.

Thanks for that.

Myrna,

That is a beautiful pot.

You have just raised a fascinating question for me.

Did native americans discover or make glass?

I know that they have utilized glass for necklaces etc in the last century but did they discover glass?

Not having glass was one thing that stopped the chinese civilization from moving forward. They now make wonderful glass.
