I choose specific parts of the glass that will best represent the shading or feathers of the bird.  He is sitting proudly on top of a glass branch.  His feet are hand cut from copper and are soldered to match.  Once soldered, I apply a black patina that outlines the details beautifully.  He is then cleaned thoroughly and waxed to make him shine.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have attached a secure soldered hook at the top of his head which I thread a hanging cord through, so he will arrive ready to hang.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe measures approximately 10” x 5”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs each piece is handmade, there may be a slight variation in the selection of glass used compared to the photo shown.  But each one will catch the light beautifully. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e**Please be aware that this is a made to order product and there will be approximately a 5 - 7 business day turnaround to make it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLocal pick up is always available by prior arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaintenance - whilst I take every precaution to minimise this, over time oxidisation may occur on the solder lines, it appears as a white residue.   This is due to moisture in the air and is totally normal.  To remedy this he would just need a good scrub and polish again.  This can be done using a regular household non abrasive scourer and some pledge or carnuba wax (hubbies sometimes have this in the garage for their cars!).  Any scrubbing or polishing is best done flat on a towel and on a flat surface so as to not bend the pieces and weaken the joints.   If you are unsure about any of this, please feel free to message me as I am more than happy to chat about it at anytime. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sunshine Mosaic Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49552522477874,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/3150\/0338\/files\/LViphi9bMd.jpg?v=1732333857","url":"https:\/\/madeit.surf\/products\/stained-glass-kookaburra-suncatcher","provider":"Madeit Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
