Stained glass chihuahua


All the doggy glass is cut, just need to cut his cushion now. Even without his facial features painted in you can certainly see who it is. The solder lines when finished will also emphasise his legs and general shape much better than they are at the moment, can you make out how he is sitting yet?
Very labour intensive and time consuming to cut the semi opaque glass, each piece has to have a template made first, this is then drawn onto the glass. Multiple cuts are then used to get the rough shape and it is finished down to its final size and shape on the grinder with constant reference to the template. 
For all the effort he looks great though.
