This seems to have taken forever to finish. I don't know why. Perhaps I should have chosen a less labour-intensive medium in which to work. Regardless, I am so pleased with the glass colours and textures together - most Springsome indeed. And I'd like a cute blouse like that too.
Made from a combination of recycled kiln-flattened bottles, vintage and scrap glass (well, glass left over from bigger projects that is just too lovely to throw away, but too small to be of much use!), this panel will be exhibited in Camden as part of the Folksy/Sue Ryder competition winners show. I don't have a firm date yet, but it's looking likely to be April. I'll have some smaller items available for sale as well.
She is really pretty. I love her stripy tights and little turned in feet - they remind me of my Islay's!
ReplyDeleteI hope the show goes well. Will be interesting to hear about it. Juliex
She is lovely! I particularly like her hairstyle, a spring bob :) Do let me know when the show is I'll definitely be there

PS Just voted for you in the Craft&Design awards - your work stands out a mile!
Is that a cloud Flora? I think it is and you know how I love a good cloud. Just lovely and the colours are just perfect for the weather here today. Everything is aglow. Lx
ReplyDeleteloving the stripy cloud and stripy tights especially. hello spring! x
ReplyDeleteShe's lovely - though that word's not quite adequate. Is she a companion piece to your wintery 'We go to the playground in wintertime'? which I thought was beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWill 'Summer' and 'Autumn' follow?
Her name is Daisy, right? It's such a wholesome daisy-evocative piece of stained glass. I imagine her in the window of an old rectory, waving to her little stained glass friend across the road. V charming indeed.
ReplyDeleteShe's gorgeous! You're so talented!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute, stylish and very retro- she is going to be the star of the Camden show. I'm so impressed that you can achieve that gorgeous sepia effect with the colours- it's fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI am not really into stained glass and i must admit I do not really remembered the little winter girl featured in K&C but this one is gorgeous. I am changing mind :-). Brilliant Work!
ReplyDeletewill you make another one for the summer and a last one in autumn ? Is it an original drawing? or an adaptation, it as such a retro feel... good luck for the contest :-)!
ReplyDeleteHi Ribambins - thanks for your nice comments...yes, it is an original design made by my own fair hand! As to whether I'll make further versions, hmmm, not sure yet. I'll see if there is any demand first!
