[MR] Searching for a Good Mosaic Tile Supplier

[Martha Wallenhorst]

Rebecca,
Plaza Art supply in Fairfax county, VA carries what you are looking for.
They have booth glass and ceramic.  The glass is a good enough quality that
you can guild the glass for more light refraction and brighter colors.
Plaza is in MD and on-line as well.  When I went in to check on Sunday they
had 20+ colors in glass and 10 in ceramic.  The prices were good and there
is a discount card you can get for the asking that gives you 10%.  You can
call or check on line for info or for a catalog.
