Try a local stained glass shop. I am talking about the shops where they teach the technique. Here they sell the broken pieces for about $1 per lb. Don't know if they would separate the colors though. Not sure if you could pick and choose. I was inquiring for mosaic(sp) projects. Hope this helps.

There's numerous listings on eBay for stained glass scraps & pieces -- go to category Crafts --> Glass Art Supplies, then search both title and description for "mosaic"

IF you haven't already found a source, this place sells tumbled glass in seperate colors.

Here is a link that might be useful: Mosaic Tile Arts

I've seen this stuff at WalMart.

Go to Google.com and enter "Glass Mulch" There are several sites listed there that sell recycled glass.

I Love www.FireOnIceGlass.com
Let me know what you think of this product

WOW!!! I love the glass colors, and the firepits are really cool!

Also, they are fairly local to me--! :) I sense a shopping trip in my near future....thanks for the tip!

We have a bar around here that sells craft brewed beer. They come in all kinds of bottle colors. I bet they have a place like that out there. You could ask them to save you some different colored bottles. If that kind of glass would work for you.

Looks like you are near Seattle. Try Bedrock Industries. Thet have a web site, but I can't find it at the momnent. They have TONS of broken recycled glass, seperated into colors and sold by the pound. Lots of other interesting stuff too.

Yes Bedrock in Seattle has them.

I must like doing things the hard way.

Since all my kitchware is made of ruby red glass...plates, bowls, cups and tumblers etc. it really pains me when I break one. I could not make myself throw the pieces in the trash so I put a plate and vase I broke in a box and stashed it in the garage.

Not sure what you plan to do with them...but I got the idea to purchase a small craft rock tumbler and used that to wear down the edges of broken glass. Now I have a nice little pile of "frosted" pieces of glass.

I've been using them to make suncatchers and windchimes and wire wraps.

I also purchase scrap glass from a local stained glass company :o)
