Fred Spiers Memorial Window
St Laurence's Church, Bidford on Avon
This window was commissioned in 2005 by the widow of the late Fred Spiers, local publican and bell ringer of St Laurences Church, Bidford on Avon.
South facing, this richly coloured window celebrates the theme of baptism and the notion of re-birth. The left-hand blue light represents the darkness of sin and the holy water used to cleanse body and soul. Bubbles rise upwards suggesting refreshment and renewal. The centre light, almost lava-like symbolises the Holy Spirit and embodies His forgiveness. The right-hand light illustrates how we move out of the darkness into light. The old self dies and the new arises.

I found this colourful leaded window in De Bijenkorf in The Hague (NL). Each stage of the building has his own leaded window special designed by an artist. The window on the photo above was designed by Henri van der Stok. You will find more information about the windows here (sorry, Dutch only).

Today is Saint Martin's Day. He was a Roman soldier, who reputedly cut his red cloak in half to share it with a beggar (who of course later on turns out to be Christ in one of Martin's dreams).
Traditionally, children in the Netherlands call at people's houses with paper lanterns and candles, and sing songs about St. Martin in return for treats.
It looks like this tradition is not as strong nowadays, at least not where I live. I've never had any child on my doorstep yet. How about you?

Had a lovely Sunday up here a few weeks ago. Strolled around the Folk Museum, then lunched in style at The Crown.
BTW that's not me in the photo, he's way better looking than I am.
Deel van de tentoonstelling van OVG 2010 in museum voor Vlakglas- en emaillekunst te Ravenstein. Op de achtergrond zijn 3 ramen te zen van Johan Thorn Prikker, deze zijn in de permanente tentoonstelling. Ander werk varieert elke paar maanden, zie de website van het museum voor vlakglas- en emaillekunst te Ravenstein.
Het gebouw is in de Bossche school stijl, vandaar grindvloer, grijze muren, plafond, afmetingen van de ramen, doorkijkjes, etc.. De combinatie van het gebouw en de kunstwerken lijken voor elkaar bestemd.

From the "geograph" web site:
"Wilbraham's Almshouses, Welsh Row, W Nantwich
Grade II listed, gabled red-brick terrace of three cottages, dated 1870, formerly almshouses; one of a pair on the north side of Welsh Row, adjacent to Malbank School. The plaques with coats of arms above the doors (centre) perhaps relate to the original almshouse charities. The timber trimming, prominent chimneys and geometric patterned windows are characteristic of many cottages in the Nantwich area ..."

Fanlight
Private residence, Malvern, Worcestershire
This fanlight was commissioned by an interior designer for her home. The design is abstract but is inspired by the surrounding landscape.
Painted textures and hand-made fused glass 'gems' manipulate and refract the light.
Centenary Window 2006
Bournville Junior School
Bournville Junior School was founded in 1906 by George and Elizabeth Cadbury. The commission and installation of the window was to celebrate the identity of the school and its' one hundredth anniversary.
The design incorporates various items particular to the school. Illustrated are the four school 'houses' : Neptune, Jupiter, Mars and Venus. Symbols from the school badge are also depicted by the bell, book and goat. Learning and energy are represented by the head image with cogs, light, objects and symbols bursting forth out of it. The shaking hands suggest friendship, while the cocoa pod and tree acknowledge the importance of the Cadbury family to the foundation of the school.
