Commission Window - Findochty Holiday Cottage

I recently finished a commission window for the Findochty Holiday Cottage and delivered it today. It was a beautiful day to visit the harbour town of Findochty and the holiday let the owners, Clare and Steve, are renovating is delightful. The old fisherman's cottage is just a two minute walk from a quaint sandy beach - what more could you ask for when looking for a holiday. If lucky, you could even see some of the Moray Firth Spotted Dolphins playfully swimming by. They are quite common in the area.

Planning stage - drawing the design to scale (above), shading in areas and marking where colours should go.

Piecing together all the shapes to make sure it all fits (above). I love creating 'sea' themed glass products and was thrilled when Clare and Steve asked that I undertake the commission. Being a Cornish lass, it makes perfect sense to design such patterns.

The final design laid out on the kiln shelf - ready for firing. The window measures 720mm x 500mm and was a great project to work on. It will be placed in the inner porch when entering the property. It will be the first thing people see when opening the front door - I think it's very welcoming and suits the cottage.

If you would like to book Findochty Holiday Cottage, please look at the website. It's a beautiful, quaint cottage, in a lovely part of the Scotland.

Glen Moray Distillery - Commission

I was contacted by the Glen Moray Distillery before Christmas to create some corporate dishes for a new tasting tour taking place this season. The brief was to design the dishes using their corporate colours; dark blue, red and cream. After a meeting going through the different options available, they chose this design:
What I like about them, are their simplicity. These dishes will be used for locally produced food to accompany their whisky and given to visitors to taste.

It is very encouraging that a large local organisation is looking to work with local producers.

HOTP - Magazine Commission

Just a quick post :

Great news - I have been approached by a monthly jewellery magazine to do a commission item with a tutorial. I am now waiting on further instructions, but can't wait to start.

I think it will be featured next month - which will tie in well with Christmas.

Once the details have been finalised I will provide information.

Until then......watch this space!!
