Beautiful 'pink pearl' rhododendron seen today......

Right, so I know this is down to personal taste and these are unfinished ....but how do people feel about grey vs natural wood frames for these types of pieces..Ive swapped them round in the frames so you can have a proper comparison. Please comment on your preference! EDIT some people have commented about the frames maybe being too chunky and I realise it might be useful to know that I wanted these frames to be able to hang or be freestanding....and to be a tactile object in their own right so I've played about with what thickness will allow all of those things....also I want it to create a little world of it's own and I like the thickness for that too! Obviously people can reframe them of they want tho!!! #marketresearch #framing #howapiecefeels #grey #naturalwood #framingglass #tactile

An unexpected gift from resurrecting carbon paper to transfer some recent designs are these beautiful, sombre versions that remind me of slate gravestones ....makes me want to do some carving....

Layering up my Doodle trees.....nearly done! Enjoying these and trying them without paint lines....and then maybe do some with lines.😂 I like making space for the glass to speak about what works after I've started from a specific idea. ....#doodletrees #stained glass #sellingglass #newstainedglass #colourplay

It's a funny time...to be honest motivation for my own work comes and goes with no warning at the moment...so I'm trying to concentrate on a few small pieces to tie down what exactly excites me about layered flash glass pieces so that I can make work to sell online...a new direction for me, made even more necessary by recent events! For me, instagram is everything from inspiring and connecting to completely unreal and demoralising and sometimes like gleaning a few choice morsels off the banal soup of an otherwise stinky day.....(I'm not showing you images of me sweeping up the chewed debris made by my infant dog for the 3rd or 4th time today for instance) So....I've included a few photos of process shots of my 'doodle trees' taking shape....the first few shots of templating, masking and multilayered blasting of two sheets to make up a single piece...(I'm starting 3 finished works with these 6 pieces of glass) and playing with the layering that I've planned and with pieces I haven't......... Next steps of enamel and stain layers to add and modulate the colours tomorrow! #keepingyourspiritsup #makinghelps #stainedglassisspecial #trasureboxes #doodletrees

Some beginnings of colour trials on glass for some of my doodles so far and some more playing on paper to offset my admin anxiety! #glassandlight #glassplay #colourdreams #doodling #stainedglass #lowrelief #layeredglass #creativespace
