Tales from the glass painter's table

Break dancers, fairies, sharks, ballerinas, butterflies, dragonflies and football. All this week, all on glass.

Well, I did say that I paint anything, including a matching pair of globes complete with the stop off points of a whistle-stop world wedding tour.

These are a wedding gift for a couple who left London by Jumbo, Travelled to Singapore and watched the Grand Prix, stopped off at Sydney for a few glasses of wine, popped across to Las Vegas to get married in a little white chapel, honeymooned in New York and took the ferry across to Staten Island to see the Statue of Liberty and then returned home to Belfast.

Quite a journey and quite a complicated glass, what with the tiny Jumbo, the minuscule racing car, the minute glass of wine, the petite white steepled chapel, and the very small Statue of Liberty.

I managed it though... just!

    Read it. All is explained. Gosh they must have saved up a few Green Shield stamps for that holiday!
