Although I'm not quite finished with it, I am happy with my little seal ornament. It's kind of been in the works, at least in my head, for a while. Had my idea, I just wasn't making the time to get to it. I had cut out the paper pattern months ago, then last week, I cut out four of them in glass. I think I will have to make more in different colors. These first ones are all the same, cut out of white iridescent glass, blue nugget eyes, a black heart-shaped nose, and pink tongue. I still need to finish the edges with the lead came, add the loop for hanging, and it will be done, except for the final polishing.
They remind me of the baby harp seals in Alaska. Since we have a different species locally, I will make some in browns and grays. Don't the whiskers add character?
