  1. I absolutely love these. Did you create the patterns or did your students create them. There are a few that I’d love to make and need to know how to go about getting the pattern for them.

    • My students are such a talented bunch aren’t they Dawn 🙂
      They found patterns or designed the work themselves. I normally note when they’ve designed it themselves on the rollover on the images.

  4. Thank you Milly for allowing me to be a part of you readers gallery. I am honored. I started working with stained glass just about 2 and 1/2 years ago after I realized it was the ONLY thing that would put my PTSD to bed. Before it came along, I really didnt know how many more nightmares and breakdowns it would take before I would “checkout” honestly. At almost the same time I found you and your students. I have been completely self taught with the exception of your emails. No official classes yet but I’m hopefully getting close to being able to do so. I want to tell you thanks and to your amazing students for all the art and inspiration but more so, in all honesty to ALL of you, thank you all for giving me a reason not to give up and wake up another day. All of you have saved my life, you may not understand. As I type this comment my eyes are blurred from tears, tears of joy and not knowing where I would be right now without it or spell check so that you all can read this comment lol. Very seriously if any of you know anyone that is suffering from PTSD introduce them the your world of glass. You may save another life. Thank you Milly you are amazing.

  7. Thank you to all of your students for showing their work. I must also thank Suzanne Vickery for her yacht. I bought a box of off cuts from the Reading stain glass shop and made several yachts from pieces that needed no cutting. Mine were just hung on clear thread but Suzannes’s use of a large pebble was so inventive.
    I enjoy your emails even though I have not done any glass work for a few years.
    Thank you

    • I love that pebble and yacht too Lesley! So glad you were inspired by it. It opens up all sorts of ideas for what to attach stained glass to… your quest for 2022 🙂
