Floors, floors, floors

I have a big exhibition coming up in june2013, and the theme of one section is "under your feet" inspiration taken from traditional Maltese floors, here are a few photos from a friends house, going to use these ideas in my work

Old windows

I have been busy making old windows in to stained glass wonders, really enjoyed making them. Lots of sealant, and lots of sea glass. Two different ideas but I think they will look stunning up some where nice, with the sun streaming through

Lovely mosaics in the museum

There is a new museum in town, its called il Hagar, heart of Gozo. The idea behind the museum is the cultural heritage of Gozo, and has a rich collection of historical artefacts, in its first week being open it was free enterance, so I payed a vist. It's a wonderful place, lots of interesting things to see and read. But what caught my eye was the beautiful mosaics, so I took photos to share with you, enjoy.

Just a few

That's photos I
Mean!!!!! Thought I would share some of my snaps from my travels around Gozo, no theme but hang on may be the theme is I took them!!! Any how enjoy, Gozo 2014

Tea and cake

I have been having fun with cake stands and tea pots this week, all the items came my way, they where all broken and un wanted. But with a but of love, grout, broken china and beads look what came out the work room

tea cups

i came across some horrid glass tea cups in my local charity shop, and i was looking at them thinking, does any one still really use them????
then i thought ohhhhhhh i could use these for something, so bought them and merrily went home with them.

once home i took them in to the workroom and came up with these creations!!!! i really loved making  them, simple bits of coloured glass, glass beads, glass buttons and anything else transparent, even a glass rosary.

a maltese floor

I'm recently looking a lot at the floor, and trying to fall over people of things. the reason is I've got a project coming up which is work influenced by the old Maltese floor tiles.
now this is 'nt hard for me as I've all ways loved the old floor tiles, so warm and worn, wonderful colour pallet and so many beautiful designs.
so ii thought i would share with you some of my research
