What does January mean?

 Glass from the past 




This week I have worked on a piece of hand painted glass. It is not available to show as yet because it was commissioned as a gift, so until it has been received, I cannot show it. However, this work made me remember all the other glass I have worked on over the last 4 years. It seems much longer than 4 years since I started painting glass but here are some of the pieces I have created.

I use Folkart enamel for glass. Once it has air dried for 21 days it is safe to was. I have no glass to sell as it is usually commissioned or sells almost straight away.  

If you would like a piece of glass uniquely hand painted to keep or give as a friend please get in touch

Written bold in the digits of 2026 is the possibility of casting off 2025, and maybe more than that and starting afresh. I have to say as an artist who is a Christian my hope is the possibility of being a new creation in Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:17, So if anyone is in Christ there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see everything has become new!) So goodbye 2025 and everything that has gone before, hello 2026. Or maybe hello today. It is not enough to step away from the past even if the past was pretty good, we have to live today, with an eye on the future. I have said thi...
