This isn't just for cats and dogs, any animal can be made into a beautiful glass creation. Bird, horse, hamster or snake.
I use the Tiffany method invented by Louis Comfort Tiffany. First, I design a pattern. Then the pattern is traced on to hand selected glass. I use real stained glass that will not fade in the sun. Each pattern piece is hand scored and “cut” with a scoring tool and numerous glass pliers. The edges are still wicked sharp so each piece is then put on a grinder. After a quick bath we can begin to foil. Copper foil is wrapped around the edge of each glass piece, burnished and put in its final place. When all assembled the soldering can begin. After both sides are soldered another soapy bath is needed to remove the flux. Now to add a finishing patina, wax and polish.
The process is quite time consuming but the end result is so worth it. to create a lasting treasure.
Processing time can vary depending on my schedule. If you have a time frame in which you need this piece please message me before purchase.
Feel free to contact me with any questions prior to purchase.
I look forward to getting to know your precious pet.
