Source for tiles

[shockwave rider]

I have a buddy who does picassiette for a living on the mainland. Ross is a favorite source material, they have odd broken, chipped or left over pieces with maximum discounts, often in rich colors. The best blue glass I've ever worked with is momokawa sake bottles. I know I saw it on the menu somewhere in Hilo in the last year, maybe Hilo Bay Cafe? It might be worth it to let your fingers do the walking and call around, maybe a restaurant would pull their blue bottle from the recycling for you, or you could develop a taste for good sake.
