Item details

A little singing Thrush in a fantasy tree surrounded by a border of oak leaves and fantasy leaves in a log cabin quilt style border, handmade by myself.

The contrast between the dark paint and the coloured glass really comes alive with some sunlight.The tree and the borders are created by painting the glass all over then using sharp sticks to cut and scratch the patterns. The scratched glass paint is then kiln fired to keep everything permanent. The pieces are joined using soldered copper foil and there is a small wire loop for hanging.The glass I use often has interesting tiny bubbles and ripples that create textures and these are part of the nature of the glass. Because the piece is handmade, every one is unique.

The panel is set in a quality hardwood frame frame stained black that can be hung in front of a window using picture wire and the attached D rings. Because the frame is quite deep, the piece will also stand freelly.

Size

The central panel with the bird and tree is 7cm square.
The overall size of the piece including the frame is 18cm square and the frame is 4cm deep.

Further information

The soldering is lead and therefore the piece is for decoration only and should not be placed where young children may handle or play with it.

Life has rather caught up with me at the moment and there hasn’t been time to create as much as I’d like. I’m working on some new pieces at the moment and will post them as soon as they are available.

Tudor embroidery styles and the blackwork used in samplers is very much an influence in my work. The singing bird in this fantasy tree is speckled like a Thrush - when the weather gets colder one always comes into my garden searching for berries and while they seem quite rare now, it is the bird I wanted to have in this design.
