Porthole design




for the bathroom and loo. Hopefully a wonderful artist will be transforming my pencil drawing into a fabulous stained glass porthole. x 2.
I was thinking I was going to have to have a go myself at glass staining and wasn't looking forward to it as the results would not have been spectacular but on a trip down to Beacon Boats to pick Ally's brains there was just the person I was looking for. Seek and thou shalt find you know ...
Examples of her work can be found at www.purpleglass.co.uk
Tomorrow I will actually be assisting in the fitting out of my own narrowboat. Shock horror. I was told to bring sandwiches but instead I think we will call in to Welbeck Farm Shop/Garden centre/Cafe for a warm and some hot soup.
Will now go and look out layers of the thermal variety I am going to look so elegant ...

I saw some very nice engraved porthole glass this year while we were out. Like you the people had their own art work. I asked who did it and made a note of the name, the question is, where did I put it?
If I find it I will be back

I bet you mean the boat Born Free! I had seen their boat test in one of the magazines and then saw them out and about in July this year.

Can I find the boat test for the details? Can I eckerslike! And I have them going back at least two years. Must have been in the older ones that I was forced to give to someone...
