Warmup
"Perhaps you've never done much thinking about the beauty of algae, but the Victorians did. Microscopists of the era used to arrange diatom -- single-cell organisms encased in jewel-like glass shells that likely date to the Jurassic Period __ into stunningly beautiful mosaics that resemble stained glass in miniature. The last surviving diatomist is an Englishman named Klaus Kemp, who became fascinated with the practice as a teenager. Because the Victorians left no records behind, Kemp had to figure it out for himself. He's still at it today, supporting himself by selling his creations to a small but avid group of collectors." -NY Times
