Hi Pat,

I don't know how to make a horse, but I can give you some ideas. First make a big round area for the body (horse color), then add the legs, neck and head. Shape each part correctly as you make it. Then after add the colors for the tail, hooves, mane, eyes and what ever else. The glass cannot get molten after you shape your parts or else your horse will turn into a big blob!

I hope this helps!

This was posted in a previous horse head tutorial. It will give you an idea for that at the very least!

LOL LOL LOL Don't know if I should share this pic but I will anyway.

I just started with a fat tube, rolled until smooth, then add legs and hooves, then do the head, mane and tail, eyes, nose and the last added was the ears.

My animals are whimsical which is a nicer way of saying cartoonish LOL LOL LOL, but I had to do quite a few horses to finally get some that actually started looking like horses. Well at least now they resemble horses as my first were really really bad. Blobs with eyes basically, LOL LOL LOL

The only tip and/or trick I learned the hard way was save your details for last. If you do them first, and put the glass back into the flame they all melt smooth again. I also take a razor and make indentations in the tail and mane to make the hair stand out a little better.

Don't know if any of this helps. I should be in bed but am still up viewing posts. LOL

One is a zebra and another is a unicorn but the rest were just playing around trying to get the hang of making Mr Ed and his friends. LOL LOL LOL

Thanks

The first picture is my most recent and the others were made a while ago. I have tried swirls on them, flowers, as well as frit to try jazzing them up a bit.

What fun!! There is an amazing tutorial in the Feb/March 2006 Glass Line that shows a sculpted horse being done off mandrel (with moretti, no less). Their website is www.hotglass.com for further info.

Hi Pat and Sassy.

Just PM'd you both. The horse in the first picture in the above post is on Ebay right now the rest were sold. I can make more though in any color combo you want.
