Getting ready for the Artists Market in Castle Square, Lincoln tomorrow. Using my old silkscreen printing experience (!)  I’m printing out a few bags. It might spread the word?

I sometimes liken working with stained glass to making up jigsaw puzzles. When I’m working on a large panel I find that same compulsion to – just do that little bit….and that bit….     I don’t think my old boy would find a Shedglas Design stained glass panel quite so comfortable!

We bought some more chickens yesterday to build up our small flock. There’s something calming about them, drifting through the orchard, and are always useful for a bit of inspiration!  

There are lots of projects on the go at the moment including remodelling some of the antique glass that I have been accumulating. I found some pretty painted Victorian squares recently and am putting some of them together with other antique glass to make a traditional little piece.
