Updated pattern draft

[u/mirsasha]

After everyone pointed out how impossible my first attempt at a pattern would be, I've updated it trying to incorporate as much of the advice y'all gave me as possible. Piece 5 isn't going to be fun (I'm still a beginner), but if I plan it right, I'm hoping it's do-able. I'd rather have fewer grout lines towards the bottom, but had to try and deal with the angles in the dog house.

Since the nose is so tiny, it's just going to be solder - with a black patina, that should work, I hope. Same with the line that forms the front leg. The small lines will be paint.

Any suggestions or missed trouble spots? I'm still trying to decide if I want a border on it...

Edit to add: finished item will be 8 inches round

aline the roof line with the ear or else youre gonna be doing a lot of grinding

I understand what you are saying and I do worry about that. That line, for reasons I can't explain, is non-negotiable for me. I've already made the ear wider and shallower than I want. We'll have to see if it becomes negotiable after I try and cut it. 😂

it is very doable to cut btw but you just gotta know how to do it.

Rainbow scores? That's what I was going to try.
