Ruby throated hummingbird lampwork glass bead

Description

Birds are a favorite subject of mine, which I guess you can tell by the name CrowbirdieBeads. I love the hummingbirds that visit the feeder, even though at my new place they are still few and far between. We have one pair visiting and they are just spectacular to see when the sun hits those emerald green feathers! I made one out of glass - he's perched, waiting expectantly for something. He is 1 3/4" long and was made on a 3/32" mandrel so he could either be a pendant or just a cute little collectible to sit next to you as you work at the computer.

Crowbirdie Beads are carefully kiln-annealed and made from effetre, moretti, lauscha and vetrofond glass. Since they are made from glass they can be broken or chipped if mishandled, so please treat them kindly. Each one is unique, since I make them each by hand.
