Diversity of Stained Glass
This Saturday I am running a stained glass mosaic workshop at the Creative Glass Guild in Bristol by request of the guild. They stock a huge range of glass, and I am almost wishing I was attending the class instead of running it to get my hands on all that glass! We will be making…
Chorus of the Sun
My new series of three works is now complete. The first piece – “Before the Dawn” is made with matt ceramic and glass tile (the sun is iridescent black glass tile) and gold leaf smalti. The second and third pieces are stained glass. I am off to my framers now so the pieces will be ready…

Did you know there are over 350,000 species of beetles in the world, and that’s just the ones that have been discovered? According to https://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article/side_O_0/beetles_01 this compares to “250,000 described species of plants, 12,000 described species of roundworms, and only 4,000 described species of mammals” And it’s not surprising as the beetle species has evolved…

Wow! Hi is such a handsome guy! I love the final video. I had guessed his name to be Zion so was wrong! You must be so proud and sad to have him go.
Thanks Sam – yes sorry to see him go , but at least I have a bit more room in my workshed!
Thank you for dropping by my blog and letting me know about the video. I’ve always admired mosaics, but have never seen one made, so the video was fascinating and fun. As it played, I couldn’t help thinking it was like a great big 3D puzzle and then I noticed the name of the music! I think Zillion is going to have loads of admirers. If you don’t mind I’d like to put a link in my blog to your post with the video on it. Congrats on a fantastic looking Lion.
Thanks Cheryl
