Will you still love me?, Will you still need me?, when I`m sixty four!

You could be forgiven for thinking, "At last a photo of the undisguised Michael twins!"
But you would be mistaken! This image is of only just one of them, Michael the Engineer. When you put two photos of him side by side the resemblance is uncanny!
Michael is wearing a rather fetching one piece outfit with contrasting dark safety boots. His outfit was created for him by top international designers to colour co-ordinate with our studio floor cover.

All glass has been selected, all glass is cut, and next week Michael starts leading up his panel!

Where have all the flowers gone

Robette exhausted from another forray in the south manages to forge ahead with her Freida Kahlo window. I know! I know! It dosn`t look like a lot of forging, but just wait and see.

This is where all the flowers are going, into Gillian`s rather delightful window, which she will have finished for Christmas!

Don`t you come home! Speedy Gonzalez

At 26 miles per hour, Michael"the veggie" is the studio Roadrunner

At first sight this panel looks very easy to build. But looks are decieving, its difficult enough for a lot of studios to get all of the lead lines to line up correctly without the whole window looking out of kilter. Don`t just believe me have a look at some of the glass that has been installed in recent years and be shocked. "Where is this bad practice being taught?", I hear you ask. Well not here!

Bill defying the Laws of Physics

Knowledge and wisdom come, with age, so they say!
And I believe it. How else do you explain the fact that Bill has apparently not moved from this spot for the past several weeks. Why does his overall have the same creases in the same places week after week? I think I have even caught him standing there, out of the corner of my eye, during the day!

In his own reality, and Einstein`s, Bill is steadily ploughing his way through the cutting of his fairly complex blue poppy panel, can`t wait to see it being leaded!

Tempus Fugit

Yet again Tess made the precarious journey to the studio unscathed!

"I need some light", she proclaimed, "That Bloody North Sea`s a dangerous place, I nearly hit the Stena Sealink on the way over tonight. You lot pay bloody taxes, you should complain and get it lit up before theres a disaster. Mark my words!"

This is Tess`s panel up on the easel glass to get an idea of how the glass will work prior to leading.
