The second is my first attempt to cut the glass vessel and twist the tails.
I tried one without handles, but with ball feet, and a dropper (needs adjustment).
Finally, I used my Christmas electroforming equipment to add copper around the neck and handles which was then patinaed to make it look old.
Driving back from Oklahoma, I sketched ideas for vessels that I'm attempting to realize in glass, including these birds. (Each is about 2" long.) On the back side, their feet form a handle to hang them by. I plan to try one as a pendent.
