Storks & Ibis & a wee little nest of eggs....
Amazingly, their wings alone are sculpted from three different types of glass that shade from clear to opaque white to pink.
I love this set~ so whimsical! These two beauties are most definitely Ciconiiformes...but which ones??? Tall wading birds~ perhaps a type of early stork, tho I have not seen a stork with such long top knot~
They are so fluid and so fragile! I am still in awe they traveled thru the mail and did not arrive in a zillion tiny pieces.
These two have so much character~ the one looks as tho it is about to take flight
As much as I love the other two, this one is my favorite I think~ the second anyone, including myself, sees the nest of eggs, they gasp in delight.
Here is a closeup of the nest with three precious little eggs within~ you can also see the gorgeous colors of the bird. There are at least nine different colors of glass in this piece, 5 of which are in the bird. There is clear, opaque white, & opaque pink for the body, opaque dark brown for the beak and eye, and a ring of golden orange around the eye. Transparent green for the foliage, a transparent and opaque pinks for the roses, and transparent light brown for the nest.
