No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection.

Not new, based on a Michael Harris idea. He made super big ones and sometimes signed them.

These are referred to as sculptures, the 5" high ones have been made for donkey's years - I don't know if they're still making them, I wouldn't be surprised if they were. They're all different, each one has to be judged on it's own merits (or demerits?). Some are unbelievably dull, others can be fantastic - it tends to be the bigger ones which are fabby, though.

There was a whole crowd of us looking for Ivo's Uranium glass toilet seat, and I've just been asking M if he'd like to go and see "Sunshine on Leith" - it's being done by our fabby local Rep theatre - and I told him; "It's been very highly proclaimed."  :pb:  :wsh:

Certainly the most attractive "M&C" I've ever seen....that is an unusual one Christine. Better watch out for "you-know-who-particularly-likes-knotty-bits".....
