We just made this Goldfinch for The Wild Bird Store located in Calgary. We used Spectrum glass including a black, white, clear Baroque for it’s wings and tail. This Goldfinch measured approximately 4.5 inches x 4 inches.

We have Ravens all year round here in Central Alberta. They are quite the characters except when they raid garbage bags on pickup day, as they can make quite a mess. This one was made with Spectrum’s Black Waterglass and Black Cathedral and measures approximately 6 inches wide by 8 inches high. The solder lines were left silver to enhance the outline of each piece as black glass does not allow any light to show through.

Here is a hummingbird we made this fall for the Wild Bird Store located in Calgary. We used a Spectrum iridescent green for the wings and tail feathers. In order to provide longevity for this bird, strengthening braid was soldered in against the bottom of the body and beak.
