I made this mosaic glass apple in 1969. I picked up the glass piece for free, laying behind a factory next door to where I was doing my student teaching in Carnegie,Pa. < in Pittsburgh, Pa.>
Since the pieces of glass were cream, red and green, I thought of an apple. I glued down the pieces on a 14" square board and added the frame ( which I applied saddle soap to). I didn't cut the pieces into these shapes. I used the glass as I found it. It is dated 1969 on the back.
I love making something creative out of "found" objects. It has hung in my kitchen for forty two years.
