Beautiful bright yellow finches. Canary-like songbirds.
Description
American Goldfinch (Spinus tristis) Beautiful bright yellow Canary-like songbirds. These colourful little finches add a touch of grace and sunshine to your home interior or office, and are a perfect pick-me-up gift to show you care!
These are the birds who flock to our gardens with complex bird songs. They love munching on seeds.
Details
Your goldfinch is glass! No paints or glazes make up the colour, and moulds weren't used for the shape - it's cut by hand. The coloured and patterned parts of the birds plumage are layers of crushed glass. The coloured glass "frit" is carefully applied to the clear glass - it's a bit like playing with sand! For perching birds, metal wire "legs" are sandwiched between the layers. It's a bit of a balancing act getting the bird on the kiln shelf.
The kiln firing takes at least 14-16 hours plus cooling time, and the kiln isn't opened until the glass has cooled. After firing, hanging birds have a small hole drilled in their head or neck using a diamond bit and a water bath. The bird sun-catchers dangle from discrete clear thread. The maker initials each bird on its back.
