Fused Glass Frog Windchime

Before I began my college career, I worked in a stained glass studio. It was a wonderful experience that I thoroughly enjoyed. Working there also granted me opportunities in learning numerous glass techniques (fused glass included) in addition to the traditional stained glass methods of which I was already accustomed.
During the time that I worked at the studio, a friend of mine established a large beautiful garden in memory of her husband, and in dedication to the greyhounds that have passed over the Rainbow Bridge. I made this windchime as a gift to her for her garden.
This whimsical little frog has weathered many years and changing seasons (and several hurricanes!) and is still in excellent condition. Of all the windchimes in the garden, 'froggie' is the only one completely intact!
I cannot recall the pattern book that I obtained this pattern from, but I do feel I should mention that this pattern is not my own.
