The Greenhouse Effect

Greater D.C. residents used 3/8″ Vitreous Glass for the feature mosaic along with solid field tile to complete this highly personalized shower. 

Their mosaic features a portion of a real ‘Climate Stripe’ graph which illustrates temperature change in the Americas between 1901 and today.  Fitting since both husband and wife are – can you guess? Meteorologists! 

Blue lines represent a cooling pattern year over year of up 1.5 degrees Celsius, while red lines represent a heating pattern of up to 1.5 degrees Celsius. The more saturated the hue – the more dramatic the increase or decrease.  Moral of the story here is – it’s getting hot!
