SIZING: Once completed, this piece measures 8” wide and 9.5” tall as printed on 8.5x11” paper – you can scale up or down if needed.
SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate.
MATERIALS NEEDED: Glass, foiling tape, solder, the materials to solder them all together (flux, a soldering iron, etc.), hanging loops, U-channel lead came, and chain or string. and strong U-channel lead came. The came is important - the piece needs the structure of the came on the hanging sides. You can also use a bit of white glass paint to add highlights to the eyes, which can be made with either copper foil or black paint.
TIPS ON HANGING: While there are loops for "hanging" on the bottom of the piece, those are there for stability and for supporting the weight of the piece. Make sure your rings are big enough for the method of hanging - i.e. if you're going to use mini Command hooks or similar adhesive hooks on a vinyl or metal window frame for example, make sure the rings you attach are big enough to hang on those hooks.

I bought this for my friends who are avid hikers. I love the colors and the artistic interpretation of nature. They love it and are in the process of putting it together right now. It’s a great way to wind down with a glass of wine and conversation at the end of the day.
