Hello!
I am looking for glass offcuts from any leadlighters who have no further use for it. I love to mosaic but struggle to find glass and have a tough time breaking perfectly good glass!!!!! Rolling Eyes
Am willing to pay postage costs and for the glass.
TIA

Not really helping with offcuts, there used to be a place in BoxHill (Vic) which sold glass for Mosaic and also sell soffcuts really cheaply in bags.

I think they were called Glass Craft, although I havn't been there for a while so they may not be there anymore...

Good Luck with your search.

Sorry Rahnee if you get 2 replies.I am better at leadlight & mosaic than I am with the computer! The thing is that with glass mosaic you really need to do the leadlight bit first - then you have all those beautiful pieces of coloured glass that you can't bear to throw in the recycle bin! Try your local glass person if you don't want to do the leadlight thing first. My local windowman has often got offcuts of coloured glass.
My dilemma now is that I have shot off on a tangent & gotten into ceramic mosaic! Can't find a tile supplier who hasn't already promised his broken tiles to someone else! Never mind - smashing with the hammer & watching the pieces form beneath is the most wonderful therapy!!! Janet
