Inspiring visit to see #StainedGlassMuseum exhibition of painted glass by #TamsinAbbott that illustrates the book Wild Folk. Beautifully detailed painting & scraffito work is so intricate & the beautiful mouthblown glass chosen is allowed a staring role elevated by her designs. #Stainedglass #Ely

Flyer for the Tamsin Abbott exhibition of Stained Glass made for illustrations to the book Wild Folk. The image shows a magical colourful swirling blue green yellow sky like the northern lights with a painted silhouette of a rider and horse approaching a hill topped with trees.

I pulled out this root 18 months ago and it still comes back all over the garden!!!

A 3 foot long tubor and root of the white briony plant. Although it is a vine with pretty white flowers it is poisonous and grows toxic berries which can be a danger to some animals.

Continuing the ammonite theme here is the latest experiment. Dove Screen Enamels were applied over a vaseline resist. Given the smoke & fumes from the kiln firing I would not recommend vaseline & will be trying other resists. Keen to hear suggestions... #Stainedglass #Fusedglass #Doveenamels

A round transparent waterglass circle with coloured enamels applied over a resist to leave cler patches in the shape of an ammonite. The enamels in blue, green and orange are swirled into each other giving varied colour effects. The glass circle is in a black metal display stand.

A fused glass panel based on my father's fossil collection from holidays on the wonderful Dorset Jurassic Coast in the 1960s &70s. It missed #Artadventcalendar as it was a present! #Stainedglass #Fusedglass #Kilncarving #Glasspainting

A blue square fused glass panel with 3 kiln carved ammonites, a black glass paint seashell and seaweed, a copper shell and copper wavy seaweed inclusions. The panel has bubbles from the fusing process in the kiln and a hole where a big bubble popped which people have been kind enough to say could have been deliberate (but it wasn't).

Well we know what happened to Jack when he felt like he was king of the world.....

Jack in the film Titanic raising is arms and shouting "I'm King of the world" before the whole ship sinks and he tragically drowns.

Poem, panic, prayer Where are we going people?

Kind of a poem, kind of a prayer, kind of a panic.

Knots in my stomach

Global stress & gastric stress
Not feeling family in USA are safe
Not feeling USA is a Uk Ally
Not feeling good about living near US airbases in UK
Not feeling the usual creative impulses
Not feeling like getting out of bed
Not feeling like the social media disclosure requirements matter
Not feeling like the offers of £49 flights to USA are tempting
Not feeling like USA has calculated the economic impact on the rest of you of the individuals maximising their personal gain
Safety v sanity what a choice
What can we do...
Hug our kids
Be kind to our neighbours
Make art
Read books
Hold our elected officials to account
Pray

Day 24 Copper inclusions and kiln carving using ceramic fibre and papers in this under the sea fusing experiment. Bubbles courtesy of the kiln firing process add to the sparkle! #ArtAdventCalendar #StainedGlass #FusedGlass

A clear glass fused panel with seaweed like shapes in copper and carved into the back of the glass. With copper and carved swirls and a lovely random bubble effect caused by the kiln firing process. Panel is in a wooden stand with a countryside view from the window behind.

Day 23 Another fusing workshop piece that I made at a Cambridge Glass Studio demo by Michell Mativi a prize winner of the Stevens Architectural Glass Competition in 2015, awarded by The Worshipful Company of Glaziers and Glass Painters. #ArtAdventCalendar #StainedGlass #Optics #GlassFusing

A square panel of glass in stripey blue and white where fusing has created a lens like circular pattern pushing the straight lines into curves. A blue sky with wispy clouds can be seen in the background.

Day 21 With the longest night ahead thinking back to summer and capture of beautiful cornflowers into kiln fired screen prints on glass #ArtAdventCalendar #StainedGlass #Screenprint

A long rectangle of clear glass blocked into squares with 4 blue cornflower images in blue enamel

Day 20 A moment of calm contemplating my leaded stained glass homage to Mondrian. Built to fill in a 1970s serving hatch. #ArtAdventCalendar #StainedGlass #Mondrian

A rectangular leaded glass panel of squares and rectangles in clear textured glass with 3 to 5 pieces each of red, blue, yellow and white with the distinctive dark black lines of Mondrian paintings represented by the lead in between.

Day 19 Friday flowers #ArtAdventCalendar #StainedGlass

Two clear glass vases with 5 stained glass copper foiled flowers in red, blue and purple. The stems have leaves of various shades of green. The background is a grey sky, rainy window and blureed countryside view beyond.

Another view

PJE@creativitysilver· Dec 18

Day 18 The idea for this leaded glass panel was for the lead to be the star. Overlapping leads, clear hammered glass for texture and empty spaces in the design created these tree root like shapes. Leads polished and waxed to keep them silver help the leads shine #ArtAdventCalendar #StainedGlass1

A rectangular leaded glass panel of clear glass andvswirling silver leadlines. A blue sky in the background shows off the transparent glass's hammered texture

Day 17 Seasonal trinket dishes #ArtAdventCalendar #StainedGlass

Two square trinket dishes one purple one turquoise hand painted with white patterns of spirals and snowflakes. The sheet glass was painted then slumped into moulds in the kiln which also fired the paint to make it permanent.

Day 16 Reclaiming glass from old leaded windows revealed precious gems. Cleaning up pieces revealed flashed glass edges. Ancient craftsman's grozing marks reflect light like sparkling crystals exposed after years under leads to celebrate these vibrant ancient jewels. #ArtAdventCalendar #StainedGlass

An asymmetrical abstract collection of coloured glass shapes in red, blues and yellow. The glass pieces have been reclaimed from an old leaded window and reused in a setting that leaves edges exposed to show the original craftworker marks from grozing the glass to fit their traditional pattern.

Day 15 The road out of our village captured in traditional glass painting with dip pen and washes using reusche tracing black and glorious clove oil. Set off by this beautiful blue green wispy glass which was too lovely to cut for any other project. #ArtAdventCalendar #StainedGlass

A square black frame displaying a 2 layer glass panel of a curved line of black silhouette winter trees and a road disappearing into the distance. The background glass is a swirling wispy green and blue wispy mix of colours adding the impression of sky and rippled ground.

Day 14 1This clear glass fused glass panel has copper inclusions. I was trying different backgrounds with this white wispy glass held behind it. I enjoy the bubbles which were added by the kiln during fusing as a happy surprise. #ArtAdventCalendar #StainedGlass

A glass panel with a seahorse in silhouette facing left made of copper which turns a dark red in the kiln. There are 3 strands of seaweed either side and the panel contains a small amount of blue and pink glass frit (but I didn't use enough for a big impact). There are a sprinkle of clear bubbles captured inbetween the two layers of glass which enhance the under the sea feel of the piece.

PJE@creativitysilver· Dec 13

Day 13 My most detailed glass painting project to date, mainly medieval inspired designs using traditional reusche glass. Both dip pen painting and washes with scraffito scratching out into the paint. Some elements were kiln fired three times to build up layers. #ArtAdventCalendar #StainedGlass

A circular leaded stained glass panel displayed on a wooden stand. Nine pieces of curved glass in various shades of blue, green and purple. Each element is decorated in intricate black painted patterns.

Day 12 An experiment with fusing over a mould. These tealight holders started off as squares of glass, one has frit added to make coloured dots and the other had stringers added to make lines. #ArtAdventCalendar #StainedGlass #FusedGlass

The image shows two tealight candle holders made of clear glass. One is decorated with dots of coloured glass in greens and blues and the other has vertical thin lines of coloured glass. They are both circular at the bottom and have jagged folded up edges at the top.

Day 11 I always assumed stained glass needed light behind it but this is how the owner chose to display it to brighten up the corner of her room. #ArtAdventCalendar #StainedGlass
