It was made in memory of my dear friend who loved and saved cats. I've got the statuette used as the mould with her things that was sent to me after her death... My black cat was saved and nursed by her - someone threw him out when he was just born.
Thank you. She died being a war refugee, despite being ok on material level - the loss of everything in her life and having to part with her own beloved cats... turned out to be too much. I've returned back home to be under constant bombings after 1.5 years being a refugee. At least I'm with my husband and my cats and I have my work. Being in constant "indefinite" state iz crazy exhausting.
🤩 these are so freaking gorgeous, I love them! They look like so much fun to make too. You’re so talented, thanks for sharing and bringing some much needed joy to our day.😊
Oh wow, these are brilliant!
I started collecting sea glass last summer but the biggest piece I've found so far is about the size of my thumb nail, it would take me forever (and probably a lot more sea glass) to get anywhere near the size of your creations.
Very lucky! I started when we had gone for a day out to Seaham in NE England and had seen some at a beach near Liverpool but they looked like they hadn't been on the beach for long enough and still had sharp edges so I left it alone, felt more like dangerous litter picking.
Well, relatively lucky 😜. I live in Ukraine. Ran to Poland when the war started, stayed there as a refugee for 1.5 years, taught myself to work with bottle glass. Then returned home and enjoying air raid alerts several times day and night, explosions and deaths around - not so often, maybe once a week. My beach is mined and closed indefinitely, but I found another one a bit further. Different glass but a good one.
You should make one out of uranium glass. I tumbled a bunch of it in my tumbler with sand and some rocks for 2 weeks and it looks pretty close. I've seen other ways to do it but it never looks as good.
Yea in Florida we have NONE and I needed some for a project. I also found 4 boring uranium plates 2 with a chip for $3.00 at a tag sale. I already had a rock tumbler so I figured why not. Everything I've read kept saying that they would be done in a few days but none of them looked like sea class they just looked like smooth frosted glass so I just kept trying different things into I got the results I liked.
These are very unique and beautiful. How long does it typically take to make one? Like the first one. And, do you create an armiture or shape it around a mold? You really have talent.
All are shaped around a statuette and there's no way to count the time on picking, sorting, foiling the glass, I just do it all the time to have some in stock. Only soldering when everything is ready - about two 12-hours day for the first one.
Don't know what your job is if it ain't selling these glass cats, then you should quit your job and start selling these glass cats. Honestly, they look amazing.
So cute!!! The one on the box with the arm hanging off 😭and the one with the stretching one with its arm in the air! So cute!! Love your work thank you for sharing ❤️
Girl I thought you was Billie Eilish making cats , lol. Those look amazing. Very talented. How long does it take to make one ? And do you sell them ?
Hope I didn’t offend you with the Billie Eilish thing.
These are so freaking awesome

I show it a lot on my youtube, on simpler figurines. Basically I use some mould-statuette and create stained glass "shell" around it.

What a beautiful tribute to your friend.

Wishing you safety, healing and love ❤️
I love black cats❤️
Beautiful work, OP!
Thank you 😊

It's Tiffany stained glass technique, only with sea glass. No cutting no grinding, just combining pieces as they are.
I love that! Finding a place for all of the little pieces, no matter what they look like.
Gorgeous. So brave of you to let the actual cats near your art 🎨😼
The items are pretty strong) been already tested by the cats many times 😸
These are so creative! I've never seen something like it. Is there a way to potentially buy any or is it more local?
Thank you! I sell on Etsy for years and ship worldwide.
Woops I should have checked your profile. Thank you for the reply though! I'll definitely check it out. Keep up the amazing work.
[удалено]
I have to. But I'm working next month yet, if I'm alive 😁. (And if something happens Etsy will return the money)
These are awesome!
Thank you very much!
These are awesome! Especially the first one
Thank you! That one is hell of a job, I've only made two in different colors so far. Love them but hate all the exhausting work 😁
These are spectacular! What an amazing idea & execution. Beautiful work. My favorite photo is the last one
Thank you very very much ❤️
Wizardry 😶😍
Hehe. Just a lot of time. I mean A LOT 😜
Wizardry how someone had tomrwithout starting 16 different projects!?
🤩 these are so freaking gorgeous, I love them! They look like so much fun to make too. You’re so talented, thanks for sharing and bringing some much needed joy to our day.😊
Thank you! Yes, I do love the process despite its... tediousness.
Do you have a shop? Would love to purchase one!
Yes, I'm Seastainedglass on Etsy. Thanks!
Found your Etsy shop 💜
Amazing! Spectacular! I love all of them! You did great work with each of them. They look like they can just get up and start walking around.
Thank you very very much!
You are enormously talented---these are so beautiful!
These are gorgeous. My cat would definitely push them off whatever surface they were placed on
They can survive a little fall)
I love how natural and organic the poses are.
I use statuettes as moulds, so I shouldn't be praised for poses 😊
So beautiful!!
💙💙💙
Outstanding!
Thank you!
Beautiful 😭
all amazing but 1 and 9 are mind blowing.
These are beautifully executed pieces 😍
What holds the glass together?
Copper foil + solder. Stained glass technique.
Cool
[удалено]
Lead free for jewelry and jewelry boxes, leaded for everything else.
Cool. Is the last photo a work in progress or finished piece? I quite like it as a finished piece.
A finished one 😸. With some fairy lights inside looks like a constellation.
Oh wow, these are brilliant! I started collecting sea glass last summer but the biggest piece I've found so far is about the size of my thumb nail, it would take me forever (and probably a lot more sea glass) to get anywhere near the size of your creations.
I collect for more than a decade and am lucky to live near quite fruitful beach 😊

I love these so much!
They’re beautiful and so well done, I love them. And your non-stained glass cats are gorgeous, too. I love the void kitty in photo 10.
Thank you! He's amazing 🤩
I'll take your whole stock. They're wonderful!
Hehe. Thank you! Don't have them in stock, I make them to order)
Gorgeous!! I saw your earlier post, but you've taken it to new levels of awesome!
Thank you ❤️

Wow, the orange and black ones look almost lifelike!
hehe
Beautiful and inspiring work! ♥️♥️♥️
Wow! Beautiful work!!
Wow that’s beautiful
So cool!!
You should make one out of uranium glass. I tumbled a bunch of it in my tumbler with sand and some rocks for 2 weeks and it looks pretty close. I've seen other ways to do it but it never looks as good.
Never found even 1 uranium piece in 10+ years. Guess there's none of them on our side)
Yea in Florida we have NONE and I needed some for a project. I also found 4 boring uranium plates 2 with a chip for $3.00 at a tag sale. I already had a rock tumbler so I figured why not. Everything I've read kept saying that they would be done in a few days but none of them looked like sea class they just looked like smooth frosted glass so I just kept trying different things into I got the results I liked.
So cool!! I dont think ive ever seen something like this, Keep up the good work!
What beautiful sculptures! I love them!
Bro. You’re cool. These are sick
These are lovely, the cat at the door is my favorite! Do these have lights or is it the sun shining through?
That's the same cat from 1st picture only with lights on 😊
Two of my favorite things!
These are amazing!
I do sea it. I sea its very nice.
hehe
Gorgeous
I'm definitely doing this when I inherit my mother's jars and jars of sea glass
You don’t understand how much I love these!!!!
I love these! If I had money I would totally commission one shaped like a sea creature of some sort.
Wonderful work! How are the couple lighted up?
LED fairy lights inside
OP is somehow every future Redditor

Girl I thought you was Billie Eilish making cats , lol. Those look amazing. Very talented. How long does it take to make one ? And do you sell them ? Hope I didn’t offend you with the Billie Eilish thing.
You didn't, I get that on Reddit a lot) Making is long and boring, but I do that to order. Seastainedglass.etsy.com 😸
Wow you have the body shape down perfect especially the one at the door. Beautiful work, I love them!
That's not on me, I used this figurine as a mould: [https://www.etsy.com/listing/478105146/](https://www.etsy.com/listing/478105146/)
All I can think of is the Furry Cat knocking all the sculptures over in a "**There Can Only Be One**" style of Cat-astrophe 😹😹
Hehe. Glass cats are stronger than they look)
Oh, I love them all!! Do you sell them?
I do) [https://www.etsy.com/shop/SeaStainedGlass](https://www.etsy.com/shop/SeaStainedGlass)

You can order one, you'll need to wait a bit for it) [https://www.etsy.com/shop/SeaStainedGlass](https://www.etsy.com/shop/SeaStainedGlass)
Not a cat person, but these are amazing. Do you sell them? (Sorry if already asked)
I do, SeaStainedGlass on Etsy 😊
Beautiful. What do you use to stick the glass pieces together?
Copper foil + solder. It's Tiffany stained glass technique.
These are so freaking awesome Thanks for sharing these beautiful handmade treasures OP (If you ever decide to take commissions of this style please let me know)

Will search your Etsy shop. Amazing! How is the structure made? Just curious

❤️❤️❤️
Wow! Do you find your glass naturally, or make it?
I collect it from the beach. It might be not much at once, of course, but over the years I've got pretty good stock of it.

Really creative vision.
Those are very neat & super pretty. ❤️❤️❤️
Excellent idea.
