More Glass Paw Prints

[Mike]

Here are some more paw prints I made in glass. The different parts were cut out by waterjet from sheets of colored glass and then fused together. They are slumped into a mold to be spoon rests, change holders, tea bag holders, or any number of things that they could be used for.


This shows the pieces after they were cut but before I fused them. This is the base blank for the paw and the pads that sit on top of it:

This is the profile I had done in 3 sizes (that is paper towel lint on them), which haven't been fused yet to soften and shine them:

Here is three of the paws after they were fused (notice how shiny and rounded the glass becomes after fusing) but before slumping:

And here are three oft hem after they have been slumped into a mold:
