Tiffany decorated drop spindles
One of my other loves is stained glass and particularly Tiffany Lamps. The idea of decorating my spindles and wheels has been floating around in my head for a while.
Armed with an Ashford Classic spindle, my copy of 'The Lamps of Tiffany' and some patience, this is the result!
One of my favourite Tiffany designs is the peony. It's a very complex flower, ideal for working in stained glass as part of a large lamp, but too detailed for me to add three or four as I did with my Clematis spindle, so I drew a single flower with its centre in the middle of the spindle. (Right in the picture)
The poinsettia Tiffany lamp is beautiful, perhaps associated with Christmas, when the 'flower' blooms. it's not really a flower but leaves that turn bright red. (Left in the picture)
The other design is taken from his Clematis lamp. (Blue, centre in the picture)
Watch the spindles spin in the video below.
