A 13" x 15" stained glass panel featuring an underwater manatee. Iridescent glass gives a realistic look to the water. Sprinkles of frit are also added to the the manatee’s body then fired before assembly to represent lichen that often live on these animals. This project was constructed using the copper foil technique.
