I postd once about colors for a Simanese cat but now I am changing that to colors and manufacturers for colors for a gray cat with black ears.

Hi. Dusty. I know De gave you the sites for the glass manufacturers so you could see the colors available,so I won't go there. Basically I guess you're at the point where you decide if you want an opal cat or a translucent one. If you decide to go translucent you could use different textures in gray for the body. Spectrum has grays in Artique,Waterglass and Rough Rolled. Then you could do the ears in a back on clear baroque. Just straight black isn't going to be translucent so the baroque would 'fit' better with the translucent glass. Then you could do the background in clear textures, that would set your cat off nicely!
If you want to go opal you're looking at gray and black.
Is that the info you're looking for?

Hi Anne,
Thanks for the info. Thats what I was looking for. I guess I will look in my glass stash and see what fits. I have done animals before but not cats. I was going to attach my Jungle panel but it looks like I have been blocked again.

What is the size of the picture? Everybody, including Administrators and Moderators have the same file size limitation. There are several picture re-sizing programs available, I use IrfanView available at http://www.irfanview.net/ and is  |

Hi Dusty,
You have surpassed the requirements of 10 posts to enable posting of pictures. There are no limitations on your status in regards to this process other then the limitation of file size as Alan previously stated. Once your file falls within that range, you should have no problems posting files. The limitations now are a max of 4 files per post with a total size limit of 1000kb, or any combination of files (max 4) that total up to no more than 1000kb. If you have more than that, post them in a second post following the first one.
Kev

Just curious Dusty? What about foiling do you not like or have trouble with. Maybe we can help you with it!

Cool panel Dusty! It reminds me of the "Lion King" with all the animals.

My problems with foil seem to be many. First the cut pieces have to be exact. Then I can never get the foil on straight. And finally my soldering does not look that great.
Thats why I like lead. There is a little more tolerance.
As far as glass selection for my cat I have some new glass coming and hope it will meet the requirements.

I remember feeling exactly the same way that you do now when I started foiling Dusty, and I figured I'd never be able to draw a decent bead. Getting the foil on straight was such an issue I went out and bought a foiling machine. It just took some time and perseverance and it came together. And you know what - the cut pieces don't have to be exact - that's what grinders are for. And even at that unless you're really working within a size constraint (which for me rarely happened) what does it matter if your piece ends up being a big bigger because the cut wasn't exact.
Don't be so hard on yourself Dusty. Give foiling a try again and maybe for a while just try some smaller things to help you try to master some of those things that really give you grief. Trust me, if I could get it you can too!!
