This little chap is here to announce that it is better to buy from a small, local craftsperson this year than a huge, global company.
Go on - make a maker's Christmas!
It has been decreed!
A medieval cat wearing a crown is painted onto glass. There are red and blue patterned surrounds to the panel which is held up against a blue sky.

I finished this one-off beauty today with some very special glass.

A barn owl hunting over grassland and wildfowers is depicted in glass. The owl is poised for a successful hunt in the bottom panel which is set at sunset. The middle panel shows an orange streaky sky. The top panel is of dark, threatening storm clouds.

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!

Am enjoying making these bits of medieval silliness!

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.
