Latest stained glass

I feel like I don't have that much to blog about at the moment - partly because I haven't had as much time as usual for crafting and partly because everything I am working on seems to be quite a big project so I'm not getting anything finished!!

I'm hoping to rectify that a bit over the Easter weekend but in the meantime I thought I'd show you a couple of pictures of my latest stained glass piece.


It is a design from one of the books our teacher has and it quite simple but one I've always liked. I wanted to make something quick (ish!) whilst I thought about other larger designs and it was good for using up pieces of glass I already had. Apart from the yellow glass I didn't have to buy any new glass for this piece....although it has barely made a dent in the amount of glass I have!


I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out and I love the colour palette of rich, jewel like colours - I'm definitely going to remember this for future projects.

I also made a few little pieces to use up scraps at the end of the term.


These beach huts are done using the copper foiling method and I think I am going to hang them in the window as lightcatchers.


It is the Easter break from my stained glass class at the moment and I'm feeling a little bereft without it! The group I learn with is lovely and really inspirational and I can't wait to get back to work next term on a new piece. I think it is going to be a piece for my sitting room wall with lights behind it.....better get designing!

I hope you are all enjoying a lovely, crafty bank holiday weekend xx

Lovely projects -- sometimes finishing the smaller pieces can give us the "oomph" we need to move on to the larger ones. These suncatchers are joyful.

Beautiful!! I love both pieces. Your copper work looks pretty perfect to me! I've been trying to find another glass course to go on, failing though!

These are so beautiful. I love the little cottages.
I know this is a late coment on your post, but I have just found your blog and was reading through your posts. (I came over from Hippywitch).
