Tiffany painted spinning wheels
One of my other loves is stained glass and particularly Tiffany Lamps. I have painted some of my favourite Tiffany designs onto drop spindles and spinning wheels.

My sketchbook
I've had a few ideas for more painted spinning wheels floating around in my head, based on folklore and nature. Here they are straight out of my sketchbook. I'd certainly appreciate feedback about your likes / dislikes. Or get in touch if you would like to commission any of these.
Free assembly: I will be happy to assemble and wax your wheel for you for free if you can collect it from me (Ashby de la Zouch, Leics).
If you are interested in spreading payments, please contact me for details.
