	It's engraved not stained glass. Not a lot of people understand what engraving is. The form I do is done with a drill rather like a dentist uses and with diamond or stone burs to do the engraving. Most of it is what is called intaglio so the deeper I go the more 3D it looks when seen from the correct side (normally the unengraved one). It's usually white on clear glass giving a white on black image but sometimes I use layered coloured glass and remove one layer to show the one underneath. Those of you who've looked also know what I look like now. LOL I haven't got two heads honest. Sue x

	Oooh I forgot to say.........I've found a few ancestors in Cheriton Fitzpaine who were married and baptised in that church where my "Lilies" pane was installed on Monday. I expect they are buried in the churchyard. Sue x

	Just checked out your web site Sue. you are very talented, the engravings are lovely and the lilies are beautiful. And, what is spooky, I picked up the bible to check out Luke 12 v 27-31 and it opened straight at that page without me thumbing through it. how strange. I know how complicated engraving is and how steady your hand has to be as I have watched a glass engraver at work. very, very skilled. ann glos
