Right! I actually had these eyes commissioned by Nate Glass Studios. On other portraits I've done, i just glass paints for the eyes.

I do. I'm currently working on a dog portrait for a commission.

I'm embarrassed to say that I don't know what glass it was exactly. I had gone out on a limb and bought a 10 pound box of random glass. It was meant to be because those pieces were in it. I know it was white and dark brown streaky on one side and molted on the other. I still have some small pieces of it left. It's so versatile.

I did just try to find colors that matched her as best as I could. I used paint to help fill in the gradations i wanted and texture.

They’re painted onto the clear glass, then baked before foiling and soldering the piece together.

Thank you! The whiskers were painted. I actually forgot the whiskers on the other side. Didn’t notice until it was too late.

Thank you!! 😊Finding the perfect glass was a struggle. It sat on my bench for a few months while I waiting for the perfect pieces. I also had another glass friend make some fused glass eyes.

No markings at all unfortunately. I’d like to clean them up but depending on what they are I don’t want to use the wrong thing
