Lord Cochrane "frequently rowed about the bay (of Callao) in his gig with the lead in his hand, sounding with the greatest nonchalance, while shots of all shapes and sizes were directed at him from the batteries and gunboats."

Pretty happy with how looks now installed. Last job of the year! Hoping for a new body from santa this year. Merry Christmas. 🤪❤️🎄

A reproduction of a large broken Victorian painted front door stained glass panel. Finding glass thick enough and large enough to use as a replacement is becoming more difficult. Hence the two sections. Looking forward to seeing how looks when installed.

Once the outline(trace lines) have been kiln fired into the glass, the glass is then covered in a wash of shading paint, which can then be removed to create different light/shades. Next firing will be a stain (amber colour). Where stained glass gets its name. #stainedglass #glasgow #scotland
