Just so that you know what else I do sometimes...the current ongoing project is the rough design for a possible stained glass window at our local parish church.

Each month I do another bit of it(I've done about seven so far) and this is the latest...it's based on Lazarus, and you have to imagine that it is supposed to fit in the top left hand corner of a large medieval window, about 16 feet by 8 feet.

I've had to rough out the basic colours and plan, to fit each design into. Basically it goes light to dark from top to bottom, and blues to reds left to right.



When it's finished (or the design anyway) the plan would be to tidy it up and then discuss it with a stained glass expert...WHEN we have the money!!

Sometime I'll borrow other half's work digital camera and take pictures of the whole thing! At the moment, I've had to take this on a crap webcam...sorry the quality is pretty bad!

yes, it really is a very long term project...we'll just have to hope! Then I will REALLY start worrying!

Geez!

Oh wow! They're beautiful! If the other panels are like the one you shared, this stained glass window will be a wonderous thing to behold! I envy you for being able to share your talent with others in this way, and with the size... *gasp*
I sincerely hope you get the money to make them, and I would love to visit this church one day.

Good luck with this project!

Thank you..it is very daunting but also exciting. Very much a long-term project...and our church IS worth a visit..very pretty!

absolutely amazing. I can SO see your art on a church window. have you ever tried a wood cut, or linocut? (here's me hoping that this is the correct term for this).

and I'd be ever so happy to donate to see this in your church. I'd even break my own rules and ENTER the church to see it. :-)

Wow!...I am very honoured!...and yes, I have tried linocuts, I used to do them a lot, I love printing generally. I like the fact that you don't have complete control over it, and it isn't until you peel it back that you see exactly how it has turned out. Oh dear!..So little time to do all the projects I want to do!!!

LOL!!!!!!!!!!! That’s so cool!!!!!!!!! Even I’m not Christian, I want to see it in the Church!!!!!!! :D

[sildil]

Yes, it would be great to see it really happen, but at the moment I just feel really daunted! *sits and stares at blank pieces of card in terror!*

How beautiful! I hope you'll manage to get money for this stained glass window.. Because it should be shown to others.

[sildil]

It would be nice to do. We have a very keen Vicar, who does seem to manage to get things done, and people often like to give money towards windows, in memory of people and so on, so it isn't a totally ridiculous ambition...but still rather scary!

[elbereth-elena.livejournal.com]

no other words but wow! You have such unbelievable talent!
I would even break my rule of one voluntary visit to Church a year to come see them. Hope you get the money

[sildil]

Hehehe..I seem to be getting a number of people saying they'll break their rules and visit!..If it goes ahead I shall have to organise a heathens coach party!! LOL

[elbereth-elena.livejournal.com]

oh I'd just love to come on a coach party like that!
