Everything in academia feels like a *lot* right now. Just day after day of scraping on by 🫠

At the Scottish Drugs Forum’s annual conference - day 1 concluding with a political panel. Great to see most represented, but very disappointing to see no Scottish Conservative representation, and Thomas Kerr from Reform as a no show.

Panel of 6 people with a chair on a stage.

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!

3D cubes in stained glass. It’s in a rainbow gradient from blues to yellows.

Sharon Greenwood @sharongreenwood.bsky.social · 02/01/2026

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 4. Finished piece!

A range of glass laid out. Colours range from a large iridescent blue chunk, lots of green, and yellow and brown.

All the glass has been cut and laid out in the design.

Around half of the piece is leaded here.

The finished piece in the sunlight! It’s an abstract scene, that I’ve chosen to be quite like a landscape.
