A Dictation of Secretary Birds
Photographer: Martin Cheek. Phtographer: Peter Smith
Details: Original Mosaic Media: Handmade glass fusions, handmade murrini and millefiori, Sicis glass tiles Size: 55 cm x 55 cm Date: 2019
A Dictation of Secretary Birds
On the sub-Saharan savannahs is where secretary birds abound,
Busy making and answering phone calls for the lions lyin’ around.
Factually, of course, that isn’t quite true to life on the African veldt,
But it raises the question why secretary birds are called that and not something else.
It’s said those spiky feathers that sprout from the back of the head,
Recall secretaries working in banks in an era that’s now long dead,
With a handy supply of inky quills tucked firmly behind each ear,
They were always prepared to pen letter or bill in a style that was bold and clear.
The communal word for secretary birds is a plain and simple ‘nest’
Which compared with other exotic names is very far from the best,
More apt, I think, for this bird of prey that roams the African nation
Would be if a flock of these hooked-beaked goons were referred to as ‘a dictation’.

Rainy days & Rainbows
Photographer: Emma White
Details: Without Darkness and Rainy days. You can't appreciate the Light and Rainbows. Dimensions 35cm x 55cm. Bullseye glass panel.
I have designed this panel using bullseye glass. I also finally have used some of my bullseye exclusive glass.
I often find it can be problematic to use the exclusive glass as it is alrealdy so beautiful. But broken up it really seems to work. I have used plenty of clear glass to ensure the exclusive glass would not dominate.
I finished off this panel by incorporating iridescent strips with raindrops and vitrograph stringers to obtain more movement. I have also deliberately left this panel textured. So the natural light would bounce off of it, in all directions. Lighting up different details.

Details: Without Darkness and Rainy days. You can't appreciate the Light and Rainbows. Dimensions 35cm x 55cm. Bullseye glass panel.
I have designed this panel using bullseye glass. I also finally have used some of my bullseye exclusive glass.
I often find it can be problematic to use the exclusive glass as it is alrealdy so beautiful. But broken up it really seems to work. I have used plenty of clear glass to ensure the exclusive glass would not dominate.
I finished off this panel by incorporating iridescent strips with raindrops and vitrograph stringers to obtain more movement. I have also deliberately left this panel textured. So the natural light would bounce off of it, in all directions. Lighting up different details.
