Back to work

Now the excitement of my friend Sharrons visit has subsided, it's back to work again. I spent yesterday finishing off the latest mosaic mirror, so once the groutings done, I'll put a photo on here. My daughter has also been busy and has completed a 2nd creation, this one has got a clock in it , so not only is it beautiful, it's functional too. Once the mirror is completed, I need to get on and do some stained glass angels as the gallery where they are exhibited has run out, also I shall be doing some more of the colourful suncatchers too. Although I hate doing the angels as they are so small, they quickly heat up when I solder them and that results in me getting burnt many times, they are good sellers, so....

Yesterday my friend Ray sent me a couple of photo's of his shop/workshop now it's finished. The 10ft extension on his narrowboat has certainly paid off. Hopefully I'll be catching up with Ray within the next couple of weeks, to learn the art of bead making as he's is going to be close enough for me to go and visit him. Also in the photo's is Bob his little dog enjoying the spring sunshine.

A new day a new year

Well it's 2009, the new year came in very quietly for me, my daughter had fell asleep, tired after the drive home yesterday, and even the dog deserted me and went downstairs lol. But he soon came back when the fireworks started going off the big wuss !!

My new years resolution is to get my glass work seen by as many more people as I can, that's my only one too ...no point in stretching myself too far lol. I have to admit I tend to only decide on resolutions, that I'm likely to achieve, as I hate to fail ;o)


So to start off I'm going to upload a few photo's of some of my creations today, that's me already achieved my goal this year haha. But seriously I want to find out new outlets to sell from, I'll try locally first and then further afield. I'm also going to get my work seen on the net more too, as one of the things I'm quite happy to do is do commisions, in fact a lot of the work I do is commision work to be honest. People do seem to like to own things that have been made specially for them. I've also been starting to do a page on Indiepublic today, a website with hand made items on it, once I'm happy with how that looks I'll be putting a link on here.

This is a mosaic mirror that I made it measured approx 18" x 12" and sold for £75.It included mirror tiles, stained glass tiles, metal adornments and mirror tiles.



Another mirror this one is slightly smaller and includes mirror tiles, stained glass tiles and glass nuggets.This little beauty is for sale.



Something slightly different this time, a jewellery box which is mosaiced on all sides apart from the back, this is for sale.
