Stained glass and glass mosaics

I just thought I'd share some of the kinds of things I make, mostly glass based, but I've just dabbled in having at go at felt making and embellishing it with beads etc etc. Jane

Love your work.   So colourful.   I imagine it is very time-consuming, but well worth it.   My late brother used to do all kinds of mosaic and glass work, similar to Tiffany lamps.

SH ..I've known how to felt for a long time but just haven't bothered to take it any further. I've start another panel, part felting and part embroidery, because I enjoyed doing the one I've shown so much.

Thanks Thrawnquine, I love bright colours always have done, the mosaics are very time consuming especially as I cut all the bits of glass myself and they're very small. I love Tiffany lamps but haven't had a go at them yet.

Thanks Kimmie what's a Saltire sun-catcher Thrawnquine ?
Thrawnquine

The saltire is the Scottish flag - St Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland and our flag represents a blue sky with white clouds forming a cross.   A sun-catcher is a coloured glass ornament hung in the window and reflects the colours in the room (providing, of course, it is a sunny day!)

Thanks for that Thrawnquine, it was the saltire that had me foxed.
