Memorial window for Julie Adams (Linda)
New Kilpatrick Church, Bearsden
2008
Church of Scotland
Julie was one of Linda's close friends. She died of cancer, age 40. This window is a gift, "For Friendship". All the glass selected is the best, English and French Antique glass. |  |
A lead-line drawing is made over the full scale painting.This window is one of two which are being made. Julie's sister-in-law, Ruth Adams, is designing and making the other one. |  |
Working late at night in the studio, painting the working palettes. |  |
Each piece of glass cut is exquisitely rich. |  |
Glass good enough to eat. |  |
Black bitumen is painted over the glass to act as an acid resist. |  |
Hydrofluoric acid bites into the coloured glass to remove just enough colour to give the desired effect. We do not always like to bite right through to the clear. |  |
The front surface is painted with Debitus green and rose pigments. Oster Winchester stains on the reverse. |  |
