Cockatoo Christmas Ornament

Description

I have just completed a set of four little birdy ornaments and will be listing these individually.

This one has a very adorable Cockatoo suspended inside.
(Please view the extra pictures, this is not a round ball, it's flat.)

The filigree pattern is designed to look reminiscent of an old style victorian bird cage without obstructing the view of the little bird inside.

The birds and filigree are made from polymer clay. The outer part is made with a metallic dark green with glitter gold trim.
Details of the cockatoo were painted on with acrylic paint.

Shipping;
I want your ornament to arrive safe. In order to assure that, I'll remove the bird and cap from the ornament and pad that separately. The bird fits in the hole very tight, but it does fit. Work it around until you get him to drop in and the cap is pretty easy to replace.
If I didn't remove the bird, chances are good it would bounce around and break and everyone would be unhappy.
So I'll pack the bird separately.

Now you can replace the bird and cap and box this as a gift after it comes. It's not like it will be bouncing around on a truck. My main concern is that it arrives to you and you smile.
