following are some current works, some of which may be seen in my burgeoning native bush garden display...always a work in progress. i work primarily to commission however some works may be available from the garden. many of the works below are gone but i may work to a similar form work but never duplicating anything. i do not work to patterns but i do work to series which means some works may reappear in similar form. and if you have a particular form you'd like caricaturised just ask...i might be able to come up with something.
the large birds are a big part of my work this year. the Water Bird was a commission for a pond at a private home. the new smaller winged birds are an extension of that commission...
the new MeMes are getting bigger. the second full size one is finished with the original head form.
and i have included some of the original Glass and Copper Windvanes made with Tricia Allen, the glassblower in Nungurner who sadly has motor neuron disease and we won't be making any more new glass pieces. i am making a few from glass i still have but after that they are finished. ask about what we still have. half the sale goes to trish.
prices are available on request and estimates for commissions can be arranged by email

Glass and Copper Winvanes
we have about five left, i think...

an elegant piece, has an almost musical sense when it turns in the wind.
the transluscence of this glass is remarkable, almost milk glass-like...
as i said, sadly, we'll never make these again.
