The scallop shell has long been used as
the symbol of the pilgrim ( Wikipedia
). My customers are great walkers and have walked the pilgrim
route to Santiago de Compostella in Spain.
A move into a lovely house in Surrey with
a beehive inglenook (a fireplace built in the shape of a bee
hive as seen from outside) prompted them to find a way of
creating a reminder of their walk in stained glass. Their
fireplace has an arched window on either side which looks
out onto the garden.
The stained glass has a blue and ruby border
reminiscent of medieval stained glass colours and the hand
painted scallop shells crown the design. The centre of these
stained glass windows is in clear glass framing the wonderful
plants in the garden. With the sun streaming through they
look fantastic and the scallop shells glow.
