Cheetah at Rest

This 8" x 10" piece is an original design by me. It was inspired by my trip to Namibia where I did volunteer work for two weeks at the Cheetah Conservation Fund. I used Youghiogheny glass for the cheetah and Artique blue for the background sky. Each piece of glass in the cheetah was hand picked to match the texture and color in my original photograph. I strive to achieve a uniform bead throughout the entire piece with smooth joints and a seamless line of solder.
