Making a Snow Dog Coat

And so it begins….

This week I began making the glass coat that will cover the Snow Dog model. Using optiwhite glass for a lessened green tinge, I have been cutting  individual lengths of glass and firing them to soften the edges to create smooth pieces for safety. Once fired the pieces and then cut in half to reveal a sharp edge which will be glued to the fibreglass dog, leaving the smooth edges exposed.

Once I have gathered enough pieces I will begin attaching them to the model. So far I am thinking of using optitec adhesive and UV bonding glue, but only testing will tell.
