Medieval grotesques.

This is a series of fused glass works which are based off the illustrations from a 13th century manuscript called Queen Mary Psalter (from the British Library - Royal 2B VII).

These are drawings done by Queen Mary Master. All of them are "bas-de-page" drawings, but to me they deserved center stage.
