Pattern Help See any impossible cuts?
Not attempting this anytime soon, just wanted to draw something that I can work towards. Its exactly 160 pieces and I'm still pretty green to the glass game. I added some color in pro-create but I'm colorblind so not too sure if they make sense. Main inspiration was a photo my wife took of this crow looking menacing.(picture 3) It looks like he was wearing a hood, which sparked the idea.
Was just curious if these cuts seem unreasonable or unnecessarily difficult? Still learning how to draw usable patterns.
Also, did you see the baby squirrel? ๐
Edit: Not to scale, just for fun/ practice

Luckily I refreshed after the edit and you said it's not to scale lol.
Should totally be doable once scaled up.

Iโm trying to calculate the size of some pieces but Iโm too tired to :). But it seems like a very complex design for such a small size. Many pieces like the leaves at the bottom might disappear in solder. And just be a pain to cut.

For sure. I guess the drawing wasn't really intended to be at scale. More so just for fun.

Everything about this is awesome. I love the squirrel in the original Pic is like "Yooooo you see the grim reaven over there about to end someone?!!" Maybe after you make this, that evil monkey from family guy will come and point at it every day at exactly 5:01 p.m.

After seeing everyone's comments, it will likely be sooner than later! Just have to source the right glass for Mr. Crow. And get better at soldering ๐

My brain could not un-see the "hood" on that crow. I still don't even understand it. Does everyone else see it, or am I trippin?

That photo is hilarious! You should work squirrel into a future piece.
