Bear & Rabbit Woodland Stained Glass Panel - Wedding Gift Commission




I loved making this panel, which shipped off to New York just before Christmas.

The client commissioned the panel as a belated wedding gift to friends, whose summer wedding was in a beautiful woodland setting.

I wanted the panel to look like it had perhaps come from a children's picture book, but at the same time capture the romantic nature of the wedding.

For the foliage in the foreground, I looked to William Morris for inspiration, which is always a good place to look.

      Thanks Suzanna, I can see a few bits I'd like to change - it's always the way when I see it reduced down on the computer screen... I can barely look sometimes! Hope you had a good Christmas and New Year xx
