Hummingbirds Curve Sculpture - Screen Printing


The Hummingbirds Panel has now been turned in to this curved sculpture.  It is such a beautiful colour and love the naturally occurring bubbles within the piece.  Another  piece I have made is the blue dish below -
The dandelion clock is not a new design, but have not made the dish before.  I'm really pleased wit how it turned out and really like the turquoise colour, which is a different glass from the one used above. 

I will be adding them to my website later.

New Screen Printed Designs

I've been using my screen printing skills recently and made these new products. The Heavenly Angel Wings coasters above are my favourite and are available over on my Etsy Shop. The coasters come as a single item (£8) or a pair (£15).
Next, is this cutesy Diva coasters:
As Valentine is approaching, I created these Love Tokens at only £5 each:
As mentioned earlier, these items are available in my Etsy Shop
I will be creating some more screen printed items shortly, so check back soon.

Bursting with Fresh Ideas


Finally, got around to using my screen printing equipment again. The bulb blew in the exposing lamp in the middle of an exposure and was really annoyed as it spoiled the project! Since then, it has just sat in the studio. But new year, fresh ideas and raring to go! I am trying out some new ideas for a trade show. The photo above shows the screen under the exposing lamp. and below is the exposed screen after being cleaned.
I'm really pleased with the outcome, considering I'm a newbie to screen printing. I love the deer scene and this will be used to make coasters and freestanding piece. Below shows the enamel designs on glass.
I have now made some more items and now waiting to add a splash of colour to the clear glass and will be firing these later. Will be posting photos of the finished pieces soon

Screen Printing on Glass Workshop

I had a fantastic day recently, visiting Rachel Elliott Glassworks in Edinburgh. I travelled down to Edinburgh the evening before, Rachel came to meet me at the hotel and we headed in to town for something to eat. She even gave me a small guided tour of the City. Edinburgh Castle was beautifully lit against the dark night sky and then on to the Indian restaurant. A delicious meal too! I thoroughly enjoyed my screen printing course at Rachel's studio. We caught up on business stuff and covered quite a bit of glass stuff too. These were the designs I made on to glass. They had not been cleaned at this point: Washing the paint from the screen:

I loved all the designs, but particularly like the skulls (below) and made this one in to a coaster:


Thank you to Rachel for being a perfect host and I thoroughly enjoyed it, but it past far too quickly. I headed back home the same day, so a flying visit. Hopefully next time I travel to Edinburgh, it will be a little longer to take in some of the sites by day.
