Bah Humbug! It’s (almost) that time again!
You might remember last year I made some gilded glass brooches, bees (Bah Humbug Bees) and fish (Fish for Funky Punks). They were sold so quickly from various outlets, so this year I thought I would make some more. This time I have redesigned them so they are more refined and they are made of…
Sweat and Tears – part 8
I have completed the tears on the other side. This is the side with the face. I found a photo of Jodie Williams on the web and I drew it and distorted it so that it would look like her reflection in the tear. Jodie Williams is a British 17 year old sprinter who will…
Big Bird
It is too cold to work in my shed. I have an energy saving heater in there – so energy saving it barely warms up above 0 degrees. Even with my thermals and my fingerless gloves, I am still too cold to work. It is mostly my feet. I wear two pairs of socks, the…

Let There Be Light (and Water)!
Pool of Dreams I wanted to make a bird bath loosely based on The Whirlwind That Takes Me There only using a different colour palette. Like my Pretty Maids and cockle shell bird baths, I made this one by hand forming the base using wire, glass fibre mesh (I recycle the mesh sheets that mosaic…
Stained Glass Mosaic Workshop at Creative Glass Guild

An Egg for The Egg
I was asked by my sponsors of my Zillion lion (Zenith International) made in 2010, if I would decorate an egg for the Bath Egg Hunt. It is to celebrate The Egg Theatre’s 10th Anniversary. This isn’t paid work but it is small (about 12 inches high) and gives me a chance to experiment and…

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
