My daughter went to Hobby Lobby and found 3 sheets left.  Two had alot of extra white but one might match mine.  She bought all three for me.  It is pretty thou, isn't it?   She said they had alot of different moltie colors there.  I might run over there next week and check out the rest.  According to her they were "COOL" looking!  Thanks yall for trying so hard.  Yall the best!   Thumbs Up 3  But I still want to find other glasses with that neat coloring!  Armstrong ya think?

Last time I was in my local HL, I counted at least 8 different color variations of this glass...

my only caution to you when buying it is we have found a fair amount of it scratched (and I'm not talking the folds and dips and blending of colors that comes from the manufacturing process); it almost looks like the machine that applied the clear plastic caused it... and these scratches aren't evident until you get the plastic off

I've found the Made in China glass from Hobby Lobby hard to control when breaking. Well, I suppose I should say that the breaking isn't an issue... breaking along the score line is what's hard to keep in check! They really do have some cool looking colors, and the price is great! It's a good thing that you're getting so much of it in case you have some breaks go wrong!
I am no glass elitist, I'll use whatever's pretty. Just thought I'd give ya some fair warning that the glass can be a little difficult to handle!
I've found that it's kind of crumbly and shattery... like trying to score and break hard candy. Not that I've actually tried to score a huge lollipop. Have others had this trouble?

I forgot to mention that as well... I try to use it on pieces that are mostly straight or slightly curved (nothing real difficult) for that very reason and I have had it just go off at the wierdest of tangents when trying to split a piece (when I've looked at the back there is nothing evident as to why it did what it did) and if I can help it I only using breaking pliers because grozier/breakers eat up the backside something fierce...

I've also started using this glass mostly in stepping stones because if I muck up the back a little the concrete is dense enough to hide the imperfection...

I would say it cuts along the same lines as a youghiogheny but the price is much cheaper
