ABINGER STAINED GLASS | AMANDA WINFIELD

60th Birthday Gifts

I love having a list of things to include within a window. It takes a little sketching , a lot of head scratching but eventually I come up with a composition that works.

Here are two examples. The first had to include a Welsh Dragon, a Welsh fishing vessel, a coal mine and a beloved family pet. Oh and the house number… I think I nailed it!

In the second piece I had to include a pond which contained inherited Koi carp, a shepherds hut and outdoor fire place that were very skilfully created by the recipient and of course Ted, the beloved and very gorgeous family dog. All set in the beautiful Surrey Hills. I was so happy when sketching ideas brought me to using the Koi tail to create the 60.
