Last September, at the Sandown craft show I tried stained glass, and made this glass suncatcher at a workshop, which now hangs in my kitchen window (the glass was all pre-cut).
A friend has done stained glass for over 20 years, and four of us got together to have a play with all the off-cut bits of glass that have accumulated over time - and there is quite a lot!
Now, I'm not the most expert at soldering (to say the least), but I had great fun making these funky birds.
Take an odd shaped piece of glass, see what comes to mind, do a bit of reshaping (I did get the hang of cutting the glass!), then add other bits; in this case beaks and wings. Finally add wire legs and a bit of solder for the eyes.
Not sure where to hang these yet, but I love them, they make me happy!
They are lovely Kay
