It may be stained glass beads in an abstract design, like these: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/538477705/peyote-pattern-stained-glass-effect-7a

Wayne's picture looks seriously out of focus.

I will jump into a dumpster for something. These came from an Sob of a customer. A guy hired me to bring some guys and clean out his father's house. His pops had moved onto a higher place. Before we got there he had 2 weekends of an estate sale. With a house settlement coming up on 11/14/18. He needed this place empty. After questioning him on several things. He said "throw it out. everything". Tools ,photos, furniture, and lawnmower. So i loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly. These comics came out of a three ring binder. A binder that was in a box of art supplies. Sitting on my porch for a month. My wife was using some of the ink and paints with the kid. Then she pulled out the binder. She needed a binder for her bus routes.
There they were a bunch of comics. My wife was about to toss them. That would have been the second time they got tossed. I never gave them a second glance. Placed them back into a box and that was it. Not superman not batman not a big deal. A major comic auction house wants no part of them. I'll see what eBay has to say. They are photocopies. Photocopies made by the artist. Then hand painted by the artist. For a guide used by the printer. They still fall under original comic art. This auction house feels they fall short of their $5,000 requirement per lot. Most of this original art work was donated to Fairleigh Dickinson library.

It is not focus making it look that way Roy, it is low resolution, sometimes called, "pixelated," in a digital image.

Jelly bean mosaic

Chuck got the Jelly Bean Mosaic right, but not what the whole thing is. That fell to Robert.

Exactly Robert.

Whatzit? Hint: part of something which was quite famous, overall, and instantly recognizable, an icon, to some.

My first view I thought, "Bible." Then I scrolled down and immediately remembered where I saw that (did not need the second clue) Jimi Hendrix, 52 West 8th Street, New York. The address is on the door which you have not shown to us yet.

Here is the designer of Electric Lady Studios, John Storyk, (left) at the entrance, 1970.

Have you been by the studio recently Murph? I drove the Google Streets car over just now to take a look. You would not recognize it today. I drove right by it. Had to go back and check if I had the right address.

Wow. Great choice of subject matter!

Is it the old Ford Nuclear Reactor at the University of Michigan?

No, that was a swimming pool reactor. It took about ten years to decommission and another 4-5 to repurpose the space. The concrete used was even denser/harder than regular stuff. My old office space looked out at the back side of the Phoenix lab space and you could tell if the reactor was running by the "steam" venting from the cooling apparatus on the roof. I think they had to wait 5 years AFTER the reactor was de-fueled for the aluminum frame to cool down enough to drain fully the water and dismantle it.

You are on the right track though. I found the image(s) doing research to build a scale model. Most of the model is actually pretty accurate with the exception of that large white thing in the middle of the photo. Not sure why they screwed that up so badly. I don't think it was for security reasons, probably was cheaper to make it "wrong".

OK, that's a cashew seed pod. Didn't we see these before?
