Nine firings in..and we have the finished jellyfish kilnfired glass window hanging. It was a dull UK day but she still glowed!
She's a pretty one! 🪼🪼🪼🪼

Magpie hanging is now finished.
I love the blues and greens of of the surround and how the silver stain of the coins in the nest zings!

This one sat in my head for a long time before being made. Sometimes the simplest ideas are the most effective.

A very small glass panel in 3 colours. Three swans are silhouetted in flight against a sunset sky with a dusky evening sky above

The first two stages/firings are done. Each stage takes a full day. I wonder how many more before I am happy & can move on to the complementary glass and lead stages?

This one was meant to be a smaller panel but it had other ideas! It needed something else and I found just the right piece of glass to add to match the rays of sunlight.
I hope you like it!

A miserable boss-eyed lion is playing the fiddle whilst balacing on a tree branch. A red and blue border with a pattern runs up the side.

A little blue tit in the blossom. This one's had another firing since and is due to get its glass surround today.

The glow worms are back! After a worryingly low population of one last year, our efforts at habitat provision seem to be paying off! 16 glowing females last night. 😃
