Default A goat?

Some one has asked me to make a goat bead for them. Has anyone ever seen one made?
Thank you

I've seen goats made, but that's a little different than working with glass

I spent yesterday afternoon making making raccoon beads for BoC and have made other things like armadillos, etc. Think of making a face bead starting off with a tabular bead and building up the features. I'll try to post some photos of my animal beads later.

Here are some of the raccoon beads that I made yesterday for BoC. Maybe this will help get you started on the goat - just make the head longer and go from there.

I think you could probably twitch Karen Leonardo's sheep instructions and turn them into goats. Make them smooth instead of knobby and use ivory and browns. SIS would make very realistic goat markings. We have both Boer and Nubian goats.
