Memories in stained glass

Memories are magical; a sight, a sound, a song, a smell, the slightest thing can trigger it and we are transported back to a moment in time. Some memories are so special that we like to keep permanent reminders of them. This next project falls into that category. 

Happy and very poignant memories of a Holliday on StMartins in the Scillies, captured in a photograph by one of the navigational day marks. The challenge, to make a permanent reminder  in glass. Also very poignant to the client was the appearance of three swallows , which are to be incorporated as well. 

It is a simple suncatcher, made by the copper foil method, with the swallows painted on a styled cloud and fired in the kiln. A lead came border conceals a copper wire, which both supports the picture and provides two hanging loops. 

I hope you like it.
