Most pieces are made using the copper foil technique and are finished to a high standard. In my South Devon studio I love making inspiring, original creations using a wide range of fantastic glass. For more information about my work please check out my website www.madbert.co.uk or take a peek at Mad Berts Stained Glass on facebook. I am always happy to undertake commissions for lamps, mirrors or panels in traditional lead or copper foil so please just ask. From my studio in the garden I often see butterflies but still I like to create stained glass ones to hang in my windows. This small panel has a fantastic shimmering teal butterfly surrounded by a thin blue rectangular border. I have used an irridised teal glass which shines out with different colours as you walk past it. The pleasure of this glass is that when seen in direct sunlight the teal colour is most obvious but when there is less light the shimmering effect takes over. The panel is approx 17cm wide by 13cm tall and has been made using the copper foil technique (Tiffany). Wire has been soldered in to the back so that the panel can be hung.Wire has also been used to create the antennae. It will arrive with fishing line strung between the wires so that it can be hung straightaway but you can easily remove it and attach ribbon or chain. madbert Mon, 20 Feb 2012 11:51:08 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/3011142 http://folksy.com/items/3011142 Butterfly panel, stained glass This is a unique piece which reflects my passion for the ocean. The sea is only a few miles away from my home and it has been inspiring me for years and years. Whenever I look at it I think of happy sunny days on the beach, rock pooling, swimming and playing in the sand. This panel is made using the copper foil technique (Tiffany) but has the extra wow factor because I have used my kiln to kiln carve and fire the hand painted fish. My kiln was also used to create the little round glass nuggets that have also been soldered in. The blues and green glasses are stunning and the textured clear glass makes the panel simply sparkle. I have used a warm yellow glass to give extra vibrancy to the panel. It has a lead came frame and wire soldered on to the top corners so it can be hung. It is approx 24cm by 24cm. The panel would look great hanging on a white wall or leaning against a window. You can attach ribbon, chain, or fishing line between the wire loops to hang it if you like. The panel could be hung as it is, in a window supported by 2 good window suckers. This is one of my favourite pieces and I hope it goes to a good home. madbert Mon, 20 Feb 2012 11:55:09 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/3011198 http://folksy.com/items/3011198 square ocean fish panel, stained glass I live only a few miles from the sea and often I create things inspired by the ocean and its creatures. I have used a range of beautiful blue and green glass to create wave like shapes which are soldered together. Sometimes there will be a little bit of yellow added to give extra zing. On two or three of the sections I have engraved sea creatures, crabs, fish, starfish or shells. Wire has been used down the back of the piece to add strength and provide a way of hanging it. Wire has also been used to add shapes of glass hanging from the bottom. Each of the etched ocean hangings are unique and it will be a bit of a lucky dip which one you receive but be rest assured each one is simply lovely. The hangings vary in size but average out at 20cm tall by 10cm. madbert Mon, 20 Feb 2012 11:59:58 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/3011226 http://folksy.com/items/3011226 Etched ocean hanging, stained glass This funky little fish was one of my earliest stained glass fun pieces and is still one of my favourites. Bertie comes in a range of colours and it will be a bit of a lucky dip with which one you receive which adds to the excitement when you receive him in the post. Bertie is made of vibrant coloured glasses and his eye is glued into place using glass glue. He has been made using copper foil technique (Tiffany) and has wire soldered on so that you can hang him securely. Bertie looks great hanging in windows or on mirrors (I will send a plastic window sucker with Bertie). If you would like me to make up a Bertie in colours of your choice then please send me a message and I'll be happy to do it. Bertie is approx 8cm wide and 10cm tall and you are buying a single Bertie. Please be aware that this is not a toy and children should not play with it. madbert Mon, 20 Feb 2012 12:03:41 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/3011258 http://folksy.com/items/3011258 Bertie the bog-eyed fish, stained glass This little, bright, orange red butterfly is happy to leave my studio and flutter onto one of your windows or settle on a mirror.

The light catches on the clear, irridised granite glass wings and shines out pinks and greens as you look at it from different directions. The wings are complimented by the body where I have used a greeny blue water glass in keeping with the watery theme. The dragonfly has been created using the copper foil technique and has wire running the length of the body to give it strength. Wire has also been soldered on so that the dragonfly can hang safely. I hang dragonflies in my kitchen window and some people make their bathroom mirrors look great by hanging one there too. Where will you put yours? The dragonfly is approximately 18cm tall and 18cm wide.
