Blue Spring Collage Bird

Blue Spring Collage Bird's body is created from a clear art glass with random patterns of green, blue, aqua, pink and black. Accents are in translucent light blue and aventurine blue. Aventurine glass imitates the mineral of the same name. It includes flakes that give it sparkle. Each bird is unique. Display all year round. Approximate size: 5"w x 2.5"h x 3/8"d.

Incidental Bird Fact:
After the first day of Spring, days slowly start to get longer. Nesting birds begin their search for a mate by singing to each other. When they have paired up, they scavenge for items like moss, dried grass, twigs and feathers to build a nest.

- 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.
