Sparrow's Nest is great! Its just wonderful Sabine, I can't wait to see a photo with lots of (paying) bums on seats

Les · February 16, 2011, 09:01:28 AM

I love Sparrow's Nest too

silverlemon · February 16, 2011, 09:39:18 AM

Wow, Sabine, congratulations, what a fab space!
Is that 4 torches I see now

sparrow · February 16, 2011, 10:29:39 AM

Lol, Sarah, yes

'Sparrow's Nest' was what I called my first house, when there was just me living in it - I should even have a pyrographic (?) sign somewhere.....although it should be made of glass now, surely........?

Sandblasted of course

sparrow · February 16, 2011, 10:43:04 AM

Now there's a thought - here I was, working out whether I should learn how to fuse.......

Your new studio looks great Sabine and I think Sparrow's Nest is a lovely name for it.

You could always 'paint' the name on clear glass with frit, bit of fusing glue to paint the name on, select frit and sprinkle over the glue, tip off the loose frit, bung in the kiln and Hey Presto

sparrow · February 16, 2011, 11:09:07 AM

Oooh, another option, thanks!! I've jut had another thought, too............might have to have a go at all of them, lol!

liquidglass · February 16, 2011, 05:24:05 PM

New studio looks absolutely fantastic, lots of space and I agree with "Sparrows Nest" got a ring to it

Lush! · February 24, 2011, 05:17:12 PM
