Rain Series

This piece requires some very painstaking glass cutting!

The long wavy mirror strips are just one (very careful) cut, and the spirals are cut using the diamond - bladed ring saw.
White grout enhances the lacy look of the piece, and touches of pale mint add depth and interest to the colour.
The above piece was a commission and has been sold.





This is a mirror of similar design, but using black grout instead.





This piece is called "Golden Rain". More golden highlights than silver.


A different variety of highlights used between the mirror strips - and you can see my studio reflected in it!

Gold Leaf Butterflies

This lazy Susan features my new Gold leaf Butterflies. I make them using gold, silver or copper leaf on the back of reverse - painted  butterfly wings.
This piece is sold.

More New Pieces!

It's been a while since the last post, but a lot has been happening! I've created some new pieces:

Firstly, "Ruby" was a commission made for a 40th. Anniversary present!





It's hard to see very well because a photo never conveys the life and vitality of the actual piece, but the different shades of red and gold glass contrast beautifully. They were very happy!
