Harold Robertson proudly shows us his latest stained-glass piece before he packages and ships it to a client. Laid off from a corporation during a down-turn, Harold took up an art which provides enjoyment and satisfaction. Meticulouly constructed, each piece of glass is chosen for its effect in the completed work. Colour, texture, variation, degree of clarity or opaqueness are considered.

". . . I'm going to imagine that I'm the wind that is blowing up there in those tree-tops. When I get tired of the trees I'll imagine I'm gently waving down here in the ferns ~ and then I'll fly over to Mrs. Lynde's garden and set the flowers dancing ~ and then I'll go with one great swoop over the clover field ~ and then I'll blow over the Lake of Shining Waters and ripple it all up into little sparkling waves. Oh, there's so much scope for imagination in a wind!"

Anne Shirley in Anne of Green Gables. L. M. Montgomery, 1908

Every morn' is the world born new."
