Ulster Coat of Arms

The Ulster Coat of Arms is progressing nicely; glass cut and shaped and it looks superb. The camera just can't quite catch the real beauty of the glass, the wispy opal yellow is just stunning the way the light plays through it and is brilliantly set of with the Red Cross in water glass. 

I don't normally deviate much from the original plan and the simplicity of the shield with its bold colours and shapes is its strong point, it does seem to miss something. So I have drawn up a reversible small cartoon of some heraldic mantling which will be in green cathedral glass and have the detailing painted on and fired. This will also stabilise the finished article increasing the scope of its display. A mother load of extra work though.
