Life has rather caught up with me at the moment and there hasn’t been time to create as much as I’d like. I’m working on some new pieces at the moment and will post them as soon as they are available.
Tudor embroidery styles and the blackwork used in samplers is very much an influence in my work. The singing bird in this fantasy tree is speckled like a Thrush - when the weather gets colder one always comes into my garden searching for berries and while they seem quite rare now, it is the bird I wanted to have in this design.

Full description
A little singing Thrush in a fantasy tree surrounded by a border of oak leaves and fantasy leaves in a log cabin quilt style border, handmade by myself.
The contrast between the dark paint and the coloured glass really comes alive with some sunlight.The tree and the borders are created by painting the glass all over then using sharp sticks to cut and scratch the patterns. The scratched glass paint is then kiln fired to keep everything permanent. The pieces are joined using soldered copper foil and there is a small wire loop for hanging.The glass I use often has interesting tiny bubbles and ripples that create textures and these are part of the nature of the glass. Because the piece is handmade, every one is unique. This panel has a very deep blue and green border contrasting with a lighter green and blue giving it almost a winter sky feel or a reminder that Spring will be on its way.
Size
The central panel with the bird and tree is 7cm square.
The overall size of the piece is 13.5cm square.
Further information
The soldering is lead and therefore the piece is for decoration only and should not be placed where young children may handle or play with it.
Although at the moment the joins are shiny, these will develop a darker patina over time and give the piece a more ancient appearance.
Designed by Angela Townsend in Watford
