With Christmas just around the corner are you thinking about Christmas gifts and just what to buy that special person? Do you want to take the pain out of shopping in the Christmas rush and also support Australian companies ? If so, then why not order one of our special hand made pieces and have it shipped directly to your door or local Post office. Orders for our mirrors and light catchers

The latest venture in the leadlight construction has been this panel approximately 1.5 metres wide built for the Lockhart RSL. It represents the Royal Australian Navy; The Australian Army and the Royal Australian Airforce. It will most likely be installed in a light box so as to be backed by sufficent light and afford protection when mounted on the wall. I must say this is my first effort at

It is all but a little less than a year ago when we were rendered homeless by the surge of storm water and sewage which washed our carpets and destroyed so many of our possessions. I must say this is one of the most traumatic experiences one can go through other than the loss of a loved one as it is so stressful long term. Almost 90% of my educational materials including books I wrote while

With the new financial year now underway, and after an excessively long break, we are pleased to announce that after a long absence will be up and running in the leadlight and arts department very soon. The drought,  followed by the economic downturn resulted in the leadlight work and business grinding to a halt and just when we contemplated getting back to artwork, and getting up and running

This Blue Iris decorative mirror has just been shipped to Sydney via Aust Post from The Riverina and was received within 48 hours- how good is that!! It is a traditional and authentic leadlight free hanging mirror  made for my sister's 50th Birthday ( not a " stick on" as I once overheard one lady question dubiously within my earshot when looking at one if my pieces in an art exhibition) .

With a relatively quiet week spent sniffling and snuffling with some pesky respiratory ailment- perhaps hay fever (or allergy to this climate) although this is not usually an annual event for me, I have relished the small break. Could be the return of cold weather and lack of rain to clear the air! Just as spring decides to arrive, and we are lulled into believing it is warming up,the

Well,the study transom and front door surround for the house restoration of our dear friends in the Hunter Valley have been completed and delivered. Despite being rained on for a week and almost blown to Fraser Island in the storms which ravaged the coast from Northern NSW to SE Qld we stayed dry. While it has brought much needed rain to the area, for some , the damage by the wind and massive

While I have posted progress and photos of the various front door panels, have been tinkering with the photo software and with some technical cutting and pasting have managed to place the panels into the photo as per the frames to show how the entire front door will look when they are installed. Am currently working on another transom situated above French doors and which are just under a metre

The first octagonal window I have ever built turned out to be less difficult than first thought and actually easier to build than a circular porthole window. It did require a little mathematical application however -a search to find the protractor and a recall of some basic geometry!The colours seem to work well, with the blues contrasting the ambers representing the sun. Originally it was

Despite the cold weather I have been able to complete the sidelights and transom in the front door surround for clients in the Upper Hunter. The sun came out and a stiff breeze sprang up prior early this week before the freezing cold snap and so it was all stations on to putty the five pieces before the clouds brought rain ( and snow to some parts not far from us). A real race against time and
