Glass Mosaic Tile Art: Tessera Thickness is Important
When selecting tessera types, be aware that varying thicknesses require extra care and work when grouting. Also, it’s important to plan your project well to know if varying thicknesses are appropriate.

Tessera material comes in varying thicknesses.

Magician: Master by Raymond Feist ? Book Review
This is the second book in the Riftwar Saga and we watch as our main character goes from apprentice to master. But we also witness the writer (Raymond Feist) go from apprentice to master.
This book is the second book in Feist’s Riftwar Saga (the first book is Magician: Apprentice) and in this book we see not only the transformation of our main character from apprentice to master but we also see this same transformation in Feist’s writing. The tone, texture, and richness of this novel is significantly different than the first book. In this book Feist builds us a big world and takes us for a grand adventure. He opens up two worlds for us and introduces us to a lot of new characters and a very big story. In this volume Feist also goes from Apprentice to Master.
