Squirrel Progress

 


I'm happy to say, I'm almost done with this little guy.  He's actually not so little.  He's over 9" tall.  I need to solder the edges and then clean and polish him.  The brown glass I used is darker than I originally imagined using, but it's what I could find so here we are.  I had a little mishap or two with cutting/breaking the brown glass.  Luckily I had enough to complete him and the swirls in the glass ended up in the right places, even after having to reposition the pattern pieces.
