Surrey in Stained Glass
This window was inspired
by local flora and fauna around my customers house.
The local pond and beauty spot is recognised by
the flowing water and the reeds to the right of
the window. There is a dragon fly hovering over
the water just about to rest on the reed. The
ancient turnpike is evoked using mouth blown brown
and amber glass and sweeps down the window. This
was a well know route and was also thought to
be a haunt of highwaymen! There are dandelion
clocks and seed heads depicted within the panel
across the turnpike.
Sweet briar rose winds
its way across the bottom and tangles with the
bramble. In the distance we are looking towards
Leith Hill and Coldharbour. .
