I emailed a few months ago about commissioning her for Moo art I could adapt to a stained glass pattern, and she happily agreed. The result blew me out of the water! As per her own description:

"Moo entangled in the knotwork roots and branches of a gnarled olive tree. [He] has swirly tattoos on his shoulders, rump, upper legs and brow, and I had the tree roots and branches merge into them as well as the ends of his horns. The little circles on his ear and in his nose are meant to be piercings, and the little emblem that looks similar to an owl's face is actually a stylized monogram of a capital letter "M" and two little "o"s, for his name."

Xenia's art won't even need any conversion for glass - she did such an amazing job I can literally start cutting pieces! I'm going to play around with colors quite a bit on this, as well as glass techniques. Additionally, I am going to try to use a glass taxidermy eye, there may be some playing around with the solder on his piercings, and the center-bottom piece will be fused.

I am excited to start this, and it's going to be huge! Still need to sit down and see how many pieces it is, too - likely just a hair shy of 1,000. This is going to be a challenge!
