This is not the outcome we hoped for, and it is with great sadness that we share this news.

UK is now refusing entry to students from Afghanistan, Myanmar, Cameroon and Sudan because it now calls their right to claim asylum ‚an abuse‘. This contravenes the Refugee Convention.
Every person has the right to seek safety – whoever they are, wherever they come from and whenever they are forced to flee.

Finished this one yesterday. The iridescent glass makes it look a bit different on each side (think I prefer the yellow > blue). The leading was awful and my soldering needs more work. But first piece of 2026!

2025 had several lows but one of the positives was me discovering stained glass 🥰 A thread of everything I’ve made since Aug 2025 that I remembered to take a picture of:
1. Picking colours
2. Cut glass
3. First foray into leading
