A birthday commission for Juliette. Blues and greens together, I’ll be honest, is not something I’d have done unprompted, but that was the brief and I love the result. With the addition of a tiny bit of purple-blue and iridescent blue/purple the colours seem very happy together, so much so that I’m calling this set of colours ‘Juliette’ from now on. The trivet/wall piece is 8″ x 8″.
Click on this image (as with all the images on the site) to see the full version, but please don’t judge me on the messiness of my workroom – I must take a better picture of this mirror. It’s all cut glass, and the edge to edge diameter is 16″, it’s a good size. The edges are lined with lead strip for neatness. It’s for sale at £200 if you’d like it. It’s pretty and in subtle tones, with lots of detail. If you buy it and you live in London Uk I’ll bring it to you to save on postage. Please contact me if you’re interested.
Item For SaleHere’s a mirror that needs a home, if you like it it’s £60, it’s 10″ x 10″ and the mirror part is 3.5″ x 3.5″. Please get in touch if you’d like to buy it.
This is smaller than usual (4″ x 6″) and I made it for my uncle. It’s a statue of King William of Orange that graces the Town Square where he lives. It’s mirror and iridescent blue glass and I’m quite surprised given the experimental approach that you can tell it’s chap on a horse in silhouette, from below – in case you were wondering.
Happy Birthday Uncle R
This is a glass mosaic wall plaque for outside, too big to be on a table really at 14″ diameter. It’s for my Dad who is 75 today, and by trade a geologist. Ammonites look lovely as fossils, well they are only fossils now as they are extinct poor dears, but millions of years ago there were more than millions of them swilling around in the sea, so now they are dead common as fossils. They were cephalopods, which means both head and feet stick out of the same place, and are quite like modern day Nautiluses. This is a picture of a living one. Anyway, well done to them, they have achieved immortality in every fossil shop you ever go in. It’s a rainy rainy day here – so the picture looks a bit dull, and the round cut sea bubbles around the creature are more blue green in real life – I’ll take another picture when it’s hung on a sunny day.
Happy Birthday Dad!
