Thank you, Lord, for sand, soda ash and limestone combining to create beautiful glass — amazing.
Tiffany lamps (late 19th century dragonfly pattern table lamp shown here) always draw me over no matter how many times I've seen them before. The exquisite variety of color and texture in each piece of glass keeps me gazing for quite a while; and when I stop to think that it all began with just sand, soda ash and limestone, I'm awestruck!
