African Painted Dogs


Blown, triple overlaid, sandblasted and engraved glass
19.5 H x 22 W x 22 D cm


African Painted Dogs are little known and have been hunted by man almost to extinction. I have mapped out the animals by sandcarving through layers of colour, then engraving the details to add texture. I used their expressions and patterns of their coats to create an allover pattern.
