Black & Blue Songbird (Female)

The female Black & Blue Songbird is created from an opaque black art glass. Accents are in deep cobalt, red and canary yellow. Closely related to the Black Graffiti Songbird. Display all year round. Approximate size: 5"w x 2.5"h x 3/8"d.

Incidental Bird Fact:
Male birds are most often more colorful than females. The plumage of the female Black-Throated Blue Warbler (a.k.a., BTBW) differs so greatly from the male that early American ornithologists thought they were different species.

- All art work is handmade by Robert Wiener in the DC Art Glass Studio. Kilnforming is a method of shaping glass in a kiln using heat and gravity. Techniques used by the artist include fusing, slumping, casting, printmaking and coldworking. It is common of kilnformed glass to have slight color shifts and small "champagne" bubbles.
