Shades of Pink Martha (left facing)

They are all slightly different as they are made by hand. From top to bottom Martha is about 8 cms and about 21 cms wide. With the hanging wire, she will be about 17-19 cms depending on what beads she is wearing :-)

The copper foil technique has been used to make this bird. Glass is scored and cut by hand, edges ground and then copper foiled. Wire is used to create character and this and the foil are soldered with a mix of lead and tin to make the character strong. The final piece is then polished.
