Full description

This Tabby Cat has been made for Amiejo.

This is a stained glass suncatcher made using the Tiffany copper foil technique.

It is a cat, a tabby, with as many stripey bits of brown glass as I could fit in to best give the tabby design, in the shape of a ring.

I studied a few tabby photos first and have tried to show the characteristic M on the forehead, markings round the eyes and of course, stripes, as according to Google stripes are what defines a Tabby Cat.

It is made from some beautiful very well streaked brown glass which has lots of different shades in the streaks, white and reddish tinges.

Its eyes are bright green glass nuggets on which I have painted a black iris and I have surrounded the cat with pale blue glass, for sky.

There is a border of twisted wire round the ring to strengthen it and finish it off neatly.

I think it looks really lovely hanging in the window, catching the light. This will make a wonderful present and especially for any cat lover.

The suncatcher ring hangs from a chain which is securely attached to two sides at the top. It is 13cm in diameter.

This item is absolutely unique. I never make two pieces exactly the same, I always use slightly different colours and textures of glass for each piece to ensure they are unique.

If you like the design but would prefer different colours (or a different type of cat) then please contact me and I will see what I can do.
