Jays are wonderful - I spent several minutes looking for the poor cat stuck high in an oak, until it switched to Chough and finally the beautiful, quiet and complex song I’ve only heard a handful of times... @guardian Country Diary: https://t.co/pro59OWK4n
If you’re more a wildfowl person, how about a glorious #glassart Mandarin drake, or is the the subtle beauty of a Greenland White-fronted Goose more your taste? These are available right now, and could be with you for Christmas if you live in the UK...
I am very excited to announce that some of my work is now on show (and for sale) at the beautiful BIRDScapes Gallery in Holt, North Norfolk! Including these four lovelies - go on, you know you want to...
Hey, Twitter! It’s #handmadehour and I’ve *just finished* making a slate ‘cliff’ mount for this pair of #glassart Wallcreepers... I’m not usually a fan of pink, but they have been moping on the wall begging for backlighting since I made them er... several months ago...
Good evening #HandmadeHour! Finished ‘Gwenhwyfar’ this evening - a rather experimental #glassart Barn Owl (well, she’s maybe nearly perhaps mostly finished). Barn Owls are the silent ghosts of the twilight, and this origin of Guinevere means ‘White phantom’ or ‘white wave’...
@HandmadeHour Hello @HandmadeHour I’m Rachel - 80% scientist and 20% making glass and solder and light into birds (and occasionally insects). I work to commission or chase my own dreams, which can be found on https://t.co/HhR0mgnkzx and in August @TheBirdfair Art Marquee
I missed tonight’s #HandmadeHour because this Eurasian Jay is so complex it took me eight hours to solder... once the patina has set-in I’ll polish him up properly. Too tired to appreciate him yet #imustbemad #glassart #birdart
For @HandmadeHour my final commission of 2018; Long-tailed Tit (no. 3 of 10). Commissions will shortly be closing until after @TheBirdfair because I have a headful of ideas to make and Spring is also a busy time for ornithologists...
