a gift for my bestie

When you have known someone for almost 40 years you don’t have to ask what they like or look for projects for them. I have so many things I would like to make for her but this had to be one of the first. Her horse, Miaca. I knew this would be very special to her and would show her how special she is to me.

I tried to use glass that mimics Miaca’s coloring and kept the lines very simple in order to give the impression of her horse without distracting by having too much for the eye to take in that wouldn’t be true to the overall aesthetic. I used a darker brown glass powder to fill the lines in order to give some texture but without drawing the eye away from the light base color and white mane and nose.

I did a textured fuse to keep the delineation between the clear background glass and Miaca.
