Smiling Spotted Doggie

I spend most of my spare time making glass beads and I'd say 90% of them are critters of some sort.  I just recently discovered 'big hole' beads so I've been making cats and dogs on 3/16" mandrels for european style bracelets and necklaces.  I use COE 90 because of it's stiff quality...makes keeping little details a bit easier for me than the 104 glass.  This is a little cross-breed dog...I think he's part Australian Shepard and who knows what else, but he sure is happy.  He was made using a base of french vanilla then I added some spots of sugar daddy, dark translucent gray and black.
