I made a little poster of Martha, my Bathing Belle.
As I pack up the last of my Lido Lady preorders from what seems like months ago. I'm now moving onto cutting and painting my Bathing Belles and Beau's!

How gorgeous are these m**f tops!?
I couldn't help taking some photos of them basking in the recent sunshine. I've been slowly working my way through some of curved offcuts from the top of his hand blown cylinders and slumping them flat.
They are utterly divine, and the colours are so intense.
Now... what shall I make?!

I've made a few of my Facing the Wave pieces recently. This one found her home in Califonia! 💙

Beautiful short film featuring the lovely Amanda Winfield at Abinger Stained Glass reflecting on her stained glass journey and the skill that goes into her work.
Grab a cuppa and be transported, it's gorgeous!
Well done Mand!!

I have always had a lovely of stationary and pens.
Here are a few of my favourites that I use with glass paints. Many of them are handmade.
I realised that the fountain pen that I got when I was twelve is brilliant as it has an internal plunger mechanism that sucks the paint up.
You just have to get your paint blend right, a lot of grinding and resting.and I use different blends for different pens. Each of these pens makes different marks.
I'll try and do a demo when I have time.
Do you have a particular pen that you love? I'd love to know as I'm always on the look out for new ones!
I have my eye on the Sailor Hokoro, the Kakimori and The Field Mouse by Tom's Studio..

I have nothing new to show as I've begun my preorders from the recent surge of orders.
Thanks for being patient. I'm going to show a few process videos as I make them, so stay tuned.
In the meantime, here's a little birthday gift I made for a friend!

Here are some random views of my studio!
It's in my house. It's the old dining room.
I wish it was bigger, lighter, and less cluttered.
They do say a creative mind is rarely tidy!
Also when searching for this song I always thought Phil was singing St St Studio!!!
Google has enlightened me..
Sussudio" is a nonsense word invented by Phil Collins for his 1985 hit song, chosen simply because it fit the song's rhythm and felt good to sing...🤣
