My shy little camouflage ghost just disappeared a little bit more… I decided to sandblast the leaves deeply on the back of the glass first and overlaid the ghost so that you can see the leaves through them, absolutely loving the two stage approach and its effect, what do you think?!

Remember when I made something for an exhibition and it turned out I hadn’t read the size requirements? Well here it is! I’ve always been a bit obsessed with miniatures so it’s a joy to be able to sandblast some of my own in this Cabinet of Curiosities. Which is your favourite design?

Absolutely chuffed that my mini Cabinet of Curiosities block has been selected for the Contemporary Glass Society exhibition at The International Festival of Glass in St Helen’s! Can’t wait to see my work amongst the incredible talent that the Contemporary Glass Society nurtures.

I’m delighted to be able to show you these special tealight holders that I did as a wedding gift recently. The great grandad of the giver and the recipient sent a postcard home from the WWI trenches with the words ‘Just like the ivy I’ll cling to you’ and so I sandblasted them across the two tealight holders along with an ivy design and the wedding date on the base. Such a privilege to commemorate someone’s big day with such a poignant gift.

Before I had foot surgery I worked hard to finish an entry for an exhibition on the theme of Cabinet of Curiosities, unfortunately I didn’t read the size restrictions and so my piece was too big! I revised the design for a glass block 10cm x 7.5cm and here it is, mostly done in my studio with my foot up and the sandblasting was done in five minute bursts, an absolute labour of love and stupidity!

I’m laid up again after foot surgery but I managed to get this special commission under the wire before I had to stop, can’t show you the whole thing before it’s been given but so pleased that I was able to get it done in time!

Proof, as if you needed it, that I have the best customers. Last November a returning customer asked me to do her a vase in memory of her mother, sandblasted with roses and butterflies. We agreed a design, and then I broke my wrist. I thought I’d be out of action for a couple of months maximum but complications meant that it took much longer. This lady has been more than generous with her patience and understanding and I was so happy when I was finally able to finish such an important commission, thank you Barbara!

Still unable to sandblast because of complications from a broken wrist and finger so I decided that I’d have a go at gold leaf on glass. It’s far from perfect but I’m still pleased with how it turned out and have so many ideas of how I can incorporate it into my work, hopefully it’ll improve once I can use my right hand properly!
