A Bit of Peace and Happiness

Interesting that the dove is seen as a symbol of peace whereas it's actually a quarrelsome, territorial bird. Remind you of anyone who's now trying to come across as reasonable and conciliatory despite the vitriol he's been spouting over the last few months. However, after the events of yesterday I think we'll all just settle for whatever reminds us of peace and hope.

Here's Ruth's dove in progress and completed. The bottom two pictures show how it glows with the light behind it.

Ruth Mullan

Ruth originally trained as a graphic designer but, after an evening course in stained glass under the tutelage of Keith Nickels, began working with stained glass. Ruth often works on commission, creating both leaded glass hanging pieces and panels for installation in doors and windows, and has also experimented with fused glass. Her use of colour and texture within her work produces stunning results.

Alongside the leaded work, Ruth also has some smaller copper foil pieces. Last Christmas, her hanging birds and ballet shoes proved very popular sellers.

Some examples of her work are below; for more, please visit her website http://ruthmullan.co.uk.
