CREATE YOUR OWN PATTERN
The client wanted a bluebird in about this sized setting. That is all the direction I was given,
I found the bluebird I wanted. I knew the piece of glass I would use to surround him and this pose would be perfect.
I moved the bird into different spots before deciding to place in in the center.
After adding lines from the bird to the outer edge being careful not to give myself difficult cuts, I made a copy of my pattern with cardstock. (When I say difficult cuts I mean deep curves or angles.)
I cut out the cardstock pattern and placed it on the intended glass. I wanted the darkest portion of the surrounding glass to appear as a log or branch.
Then solder, frame, wash and polish.
Here is the finished project. I hope the client likes it as much as I do.
