- I just discovered this beautiful and thoughtful site. Anyone who makes web sites should take a look here once in a while, especially if you're used to leaving design elements up to pre-made themes. It will make you think.

- Creating stained glass is a daunting task, as there are several major steps to completing such a piece of art and require to maker to be equal parts artisan and craftsman. The glass itself would be colored using metallic salts during its manufacturing process, then artfully arranged between lead strips to hold together the design. These windows can also be created by painting a design on and having the glass annealed in a furnace to set the colors. The first method is the more revered, although both are still considered stained glass. These windows were incredibly durable, some of them lasting hundreds of years ( in Western Europe, stained glass windows from the Middle Ages are the major form of pictorial art to have survived to this day.) Stained glass found its beginnings in clay pots, where it was mixed with metal oxides while in a melting state over a furnace. Copper oxides were added to produce green, cobalt for blue, and gold was added to produce red glass, creating what was called pot metal. The types of stained glass diversified from there, finding form in cylinder glass, crown glass, table glass and flashed glass (all these were named for the technique used to create each type of glass.) Each method produced different variations in color. Today there are modern glass factories who produce the glass using traditional methods and modern expediency, located everywhere from the USA to England, Russia and Poland.

- This site's been on my personal bookmarks page for a while, but I've neglected to Stumble it. Given that I should really be looking for a job or working instead, now seems the perfect time to correct my oversight... Colourlovers blog is for those types who keep their Pantone guides wrapped in brown paper and hidden under less arousing publications of Hustler or Swank. These people are obsessed, but at least it's in a good, productive way. Articles about colour combinations are usually illustrated with photos and accompanied by a sample palette. Those with decorative instincts could do worse than to spend some time on here.
