I prefer to use glass but where I have used an alternative, I have specified it below.
Wherever an item is marked below as ‘sold’, it may be possible to create another unique example of the pattern using similar or different colours.
Obviously where the foundation of the piece is an ancient piece of glass (such as Bourbon on the Rocks below), then any kind of duplication would be difficult, if not impossible. .
Lily Corner with a touch of purple
This is an example of the 'Lily Corner' shown as 'sold' below, with a touch of purple.
It is so difficult to get good colour representation in these photographs - it looks better than this! You may be able to spot the pink and green shades in the iridised clear glass in the flower.

Quilt (SOLD)
This is a bit of fun - 20 smallish squares of assorted coloured glass within an iridised border. It’s not just me who loves it!

Tranquility
I can design custom panels to your specification and design, perhaps using stationery headers as a model.
One such, is this - a shop sign, made for friends in Pontivy, based upon the logo used in their publicity.
Background colours, fonts, font colours and design of your choice.
Price: For this panel would be calculated as a ‘custom build’.

Fitted Splashback
This fitted splashback is installed on a light box with a sheet of plain glass to protect it.
Installation in or around the Brittany area can be done by us.
I recommend the use of a qualified electrician to fit the light fittings, and of course a qualified plumber to move the taps about if necessary.
Price: For this panel would be calculated as a ‘custom build’.
This particular piece was created in UK from a pattern taken from a book (Ed Sibbett, Jr., "Victorian Stained Glass Pattern Book", Dover (USA), 1979) which allows me a limited copyright. It was originally destined, with its partner, for the front door in our last house, but we moved first. The other half of the pair will be hung over our transom window in this house.

Three Tone Cross
Leaded glass cross in three tones of blue glass with 6 small glass crosses suspended at the ends of strands of tiny glass beads. A small clear glass heart with a white knot within it adorns the centre of the cross.

Dusky Duchess Wind Chime (SOLD)
6 long glass strands measuring 34¼″ or 870 mm, on nylon coated 7 ply steel wire, suspended from a pale blue vintage glass fruit basket. The central 2 strands fall just to the first layer of diamond shaped purple and blue irridised glass below a layer of irridised clear glass oblongs. On the reamaining four strands there is a repeat of the oblong and diamond shaped glass pieces. There is a purple bohemian bead at the bottom of each strand followed by a vintage glass chandelier drop. The tiny seed beads are glass and all the other beads are a variety of clear and coloured and irridised vintage bohemian beads from a factory in Czechoslovakia, now closed. The glass pieces are all cut, drilled and ground by hand.
The way the light catches the larger beads in particular and the pieces of irridised glass is stunning. As usual this is difficult to capture on camera!
Size: 3′7″ or 1090 mm long from top of the fruit basket handle to tip of the chime.

Bourbon on the Rocks (SOLD)
This is a beautiful stained glass wind chime.
The inspiration for this piece was the vintage amber coloured glass dessert bowl, now the crown of the windchime, from which are suspended 16 strands of various lengths using 7 strand nylon coated steel wire for strength.
It is made up of a total of 21 pieces of amber and clear glass, each hand cut, drilled and ground (by me) so that there are no sharp edges.
Furthermore there are ...

The wind sail is a large vintage prismatic drop, which altogether produces a lovely sound tinkling in the breeze.
This took many hours to make. I hope that you like it as much as I do.
Size: 20″ or 508 mm long from crown to tip of wind sail.
