Fused Glass Hanging Tree Swallow
Tree Swallow
This tree swallow has been augmented with a raised "contoured" wing. The swallow has been infused with tints of aventurine blue and aventurine glass to make his "feathers" glitter. I also make Tree Swallows on perches.
Tree Swallows T(achycineta bicolor) are mesmerising acrobatic deep-blue birds with a white chest. Their gorgeous deep-blue iridescent feathers radiate and scatter light. Tree swallows live near our marshes, waters, fields and lakes and I was driven to make these glass ones after watching them in the early summer on the French Basin trail in Annapolis Royal.
