Thank you for sharing another great day out with us...

The keeper's cottage was very interesting and neat (I mean that both ways). It looks like a charming place to have lived.<br /><br />I'm glad I noticed Elizabeth's detailed description of the colorful glass plate process. So I won't repeat ;-) I've seen fancier ones here in Mexico done by fine artists. They were completely colored - no clear glass showing - and were created with just two levels: clear thin glass on the bottom and the "mosaic" pieces of glass laid on top. Then, as Elizabeth described, the assembly is heated in a kiln. I was able to talk to one of the artists. That was cool. I also wished I could have afforded one of his plates.<br /><br />Happy T-day!

I find it amazing how a (relatively) small light source (in this case a single light bulb) can be carried so far with the help of clever mirrors etc. Amazing! The keeper's cottages are fascinating. What a great place to visit.<br />The glass museum looks interesting, in spite of your disappointment. I agree with Elizabeth in that the glass plates were made by children. It's a bit too naive to be the work of adults.<br />By the way, it looks like you had beautiful weather.<br />Happy T-Day<br />LiscaLiscahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06055538730629891703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916044400739264648.post-23506728613607074582017-11-07T16:26:58.566+00:002017-11-07T16:26:58.566+00:00The holiday cottage would be an interesting place ...The holiday cottage would be an interesting place to stay.

However, I now have sweater envy - although I suspect on my figure I would look like a yeti! The light house looks like a great place to visit - I loved the keepers cottage!

The father was the lighthouse keeper. I've had a fantasy of having a studio inside the lighthouse at the top. With the Fresnell lens removed. I imagine the light and the 360 degree views of the ocean. I realize it's not practical, but then a fantasy isn't meant to be. The glass pieces are beautiful. I'm quite taken by the bear. Your chili looks quite comforting for a cold day.

Going to the shore is a fun thing on a beautiful day. `I always wondered what it would be like to live in a lighthouse. Probably pretty lonely at times. Too bad the glass museum was disappointing since it is a beautiful building. I love your page today too. Cold weather means sweaters for sure. They say by the end of the week we are going to get winter feeling cold temperatures. Brrr. Not ready for that cold yet. Happy T day.

I adore...An absolutely wonderful post today, dear. I adore your coloUrful coSy sweater and the great AJJ entry as a whole. Simple is often better, but that stenciled image set it apart.<br /><br />What a glorious lighthouse. Very impressive and looks so clean, too. I saw a news post recently where the govt (US) was selling old, obsolete lighthouses to anyone who had the money to buy them. The insides were in much disrepair, unlike the one you visited. One thing, though. They were on a lake and could only be reached by boat.<br /><br />That glass was incredible. I realize there probably wasn't as much as you would have hoped but I was particularly impressed with the still life. The grapefruit was so colorful and different from the other fruit.<br /><br />I can tell you how the glass was made. It looks like children made these plates. You begin with a circular sheet of clear glass, place it on a form, then add bits of formed glass like the hand, the elephant, etc. These were glass pieces made prior to adding them to the THIN clear glass. Then you place the assembly in the kiln and add a second thin layer of clear glass. When the kiln reaches the correct temp, the glass takes on the shape of the form, which in this case is a plate. It also fuses together and created the single plate.<br /><br />Thanks for taking us to Souter Lighthouse and the National Glass Center, then sharing your tea and vegetarian chili with us for T this Tuesday. And I can't forget your lovely warm and cozy AJJ spread, either.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.com
