It all begins with some glass and an idea in your head. From there you draw your plans (that include your cut lines) and start scoring the glass. Once all the glass is cut to size, the next task is leading round the sides and through your design. This is when you find out that perhaps your cutting wasn’t so accurate! When everything fits together nicely it’s onto soldiering, cementing and polishing the piece.
Boat and sea, Portscatho
This piece came from Missy’s head, it was her first ever stained glass window, which resides at her home where the morning sun hits it in the kitchen and throws some lovely different colours across the surface and floor.
Bubble powder in Fusing Glass
This is an experiment with fusing glass and bubble powder that is sandwiches in between, it gives off such a lovely tactile effect.
Bubble powder in Fusing Glass
Cuba
This piece was designed around a honeymoon recently spent in the lovely country of Cuba. There are various techniques used here; Glass painting, Sand blasting and some rather tricky cut lines!
The Quarters of Paris in Situ
This piece was commissioned by a friend of Missy’s to go above her front door. the idea was to do the quarters of Paris with the river Seine.
The coloured glass was picked to match the victorian glass that is currently in other windows on the property.
The Mine, Portscatho
Another piece that used painting, sand blasting and an added effect of fusing glass with bubble powder for the sea.
