stained glass sundial





















At last this sundial got finished and installed at Nailsea Court. (Its a copy of a 17th century one which was stolen after a fire in the 1970's).I've been working on this dial for over a year now - it's plain glass, etched, enamelled, painted, and silver stained.
Scary moment as the sun came out just when we were putting it in - and it showed the right time to within 5 minutes or so! (you have to correct for longitude and time of year first)The time reads quarter past 12
