Mother and Baby Amongst the Poppies by Christine Saunders

A Tribute to Motherhood in Stained Glass

Motherhood represents a bond that can be difficult to express in words. Christine Saunders captured that feeling in Mother and Baby Amongst the Poppies, a 12 × 12-inch stained glass panel showing a tender moment between a mother and baby nestled among vibrant poppies beneath a glowing moon.

Through colour, light and carefully observed detail, the artwork brings together themes of love, nature and harmony.

Handcrafted with Care

Every piece Christine creates is handmade, and Mother and Baby Amongst the Poppies was no exception. Warm and cool colours were balanced to give the poppies vibrancy while preserving the softness of the moonlit scene.

Created using traditional leaded stained glass techniques, the artwork combines established craftsmanship with a contemporary illustrative style. The structural lines form part of the composition, supporting the glass while guiding the eye through the figures, flowers and night sky.

The panel was offered for £180 when this article was first published in 2024. Current commission prices depend on dimensions, complexity, glass selection and the amount of painted detail required.

Why Choose Christine Saunders’ Stained Glass Art?

Christine is known for individually designed stained glass artwork inspired by wildlife, nature, fantasy and personal stories. Each piece is hand-finished, giving it a character that cannot be reproduced by mass manufacture.

Customers choose Amber Dragons because they can discuss their ideas directly with the artist. A commission may begin with a photograph, memory, favourite subject or simply a preferred colour palette. Christine then considers how the idea can be interpreted specifically in stained glass.

Her work is valued for:

  • original designs created around the subject;
  • careful selection of coloured and textured glass;
  • traditional craftsmanship and strong construction;
  • expressive hand-painted detail where appropriate;
  • a personal approach to bespoke commissions.

A Meaningful Artwork or Gift

Mother and Baby Amongst the Poppies was designed to bring warmth and emotion into the home. It can act as a focal point while also carrying personal associations with parenthood, family and enduring love.

Artwork of this kind can also inspire a thoughtful commission for a birth, christening, birthday, Mother’s Day or another important family occasion. A bespoke design can incorporate flowers, animals, landscapes, colours or other details that hold meaning for the recipient.

Secure Delivery Arrangements

The archived article recorded UK delivery at £20. This was a historic 2024 rate and should not be treated as current. Delivery and collection arrangements now depend on the size and destination of the artwork.
