6" diameter Bird design Window Roundels Our hand painted glass window roundels have been drawn here in the borders of Scotland and Cumbria. We cut the glass roundels from large sheets, hand print them with the black line design and then carefully hand colour using transparent glass lacquers. They are then framed with traditional stained glass lead and hung with trace chain. They make very attractive window decorations.
We have a very large collection of bird designs now in our roundels. To see the 6" diameter collection, click on the Robin picture to the left.
Panels We were inspired to introduce the new range of 'Handbag'(Purse)-shaped panels by similar shaped ancient panels in Canterbury Cathedral, one of the world's greatest storehouses of mediaeval art. We think they have a very decorative appearance, most suitable for showing our traditional ranges of birds and more modern designs, in windows of the home. Designs are by Barbara J. Ruddick.
FAVOURITE WILD BIRDS
Please scroll down to see our current range of bird designs, which will appeal to all bird lovers and 'Twitchers' ! Some of our handpainted glass bird window decorations appear from time to time in the RSPB catalogue, the British equivalent of the US Audubon magazine. They are not only delightful gifts in their own right for any bird enthusiast, but also serve a valuable purpose in acting as deterrents against birds flying into windows and hurting themselves. As well as British birds, we have a couple of American ones - our Christmas Cardinals, and a Hummingbird design. We hope you enjoy our birds!
