The Best of
LOUIS COMFORT
TIFFANY

“LOUIS COMFORT TIFFANY (1848 – 1933) was an American artist and designer who worked in the decorative arts and is best known for his work in stained glass. He is the American artist most associated with the Art Nouveau and Aesthetic movements.

“In the beginning of his career, Tiffany used cheap jelly jars and bottles because they had the mineral impurities that finer glass lacked. He began making his own glass. Tiffany used opalescent glass in a variety of colors and textures to create a unique style of stained glass. Tiffany acquired [the] patent for the "copper foil" technique, which, by edging each piece of cut glass in copper foil and soldering the whole together to create his windows and lamps, made possible a level of detail previously unknown. This can be contrasted with the method of painting in enamels or glass paint on colorless glass, and then setting the glass pieces in lead channels, that had been the dominant method of creating stained glass for hundreds of years in Europe.”

[Ezekiel]

The 'mastery' is anything but. It's simply that I don't really know anything, so I'm always looking stuff up. Drives people nuts, but anyone can learn much by not knowing anything.

Consider how the Dark Side operates: it never learns because it already knows everything already. Worse, it'll project its know-it-all persona onto the very people who are always needing to look something up!

Bizarre.

Funny thing -- I've been a big fan of dictionaries, thesauruses, encyclopedias, and etymologies since I was a little kid. I've always appreciated the freedom to roam around the material in no particular order -- none of this falling-asleep-while-trying-to-finish-a-paragraph trouble.

A big fan of the 'word', literally.

Supposedly our eyes see everything upside down, so the brain got smart and flipped everything back over. That way we wouldn't be trying to walk on the ceiling, or something.

I suspect there's a special reward for those who caught on to their mischief and learned how to walk on the ceiling anyway.

Ha, there's always a song to be made. Remember this one?

The Bible In Paintings is always an inspiration!

Dan, I haven’t seen etabeta yet...

Knowing how much she loves glass, I just hope she hasn’t swooned away in unconscious joy...

“but anyone can learn much by not knowing anything.”
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Dan, here Mr Ezekiel has done it again; he’s come up with something both funnie, and profound; an idea that we ponder.

I believe this one deserves posting to my ‘Special Quotes’ file, and Mr Ezekiel will be fully credited.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thank you, John. “Behold, I stand at YOUR door and knock.”

[Hebrews 11:6]

Tiffany was the Master.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Bingo! Cheap jelly-jars!

[SisterK]

Hah!
I was still scrolling archives looking for the itinerary that you hid in plain sight.

[SisterK]

Knowing how much she loves glass, I just hope she hasn’t swooned away in unconscious joy...

I was wondering the same...if we need to pass the smelling salts or something...

I did not know he also made the glass itself. This explains why each little pane looks like opals or pearls...They are perfection even before they are assembled into compositions.

[Hebrews 11:6]

EUREKA!

[Hebrews 11:6]

This explains why each little pane looks like opals or pearls...They are perfection even before they are assembled into compositions.

Wonderfully stated, K! And then the compositions themselves will do, until something better comes along.
