First cuts made and he is looking quite good. The colours are just about right, the glass is very characterful with lots is seeds (bubbles) and a gentle texture which whilst not mimicking fur, breaks up the light well enough to "fuzz" it a bit. We are using large bold shapes for the body which should help to focus attention on the detail in his face. The trick will be to get his expression right. Glass pieces with multiple compound curves are very time consuming to complete, requiring many small individual cuts to complete just one facet. It then needs careful grinding to remove sharp edges and leave a good surface for the copper foil to bond to. Should have most of the glass cut tomorrow.
