Product details:
**MADE TO ORDER: please allow 1 week to ship. Due to the unique design of each glass sheet, final products will vary in minor ways despite the same glass being used**
Handmade suncatcher using the Tiffany (copperfoil) method, finished in copper patina (please note - a black finish is also available upon request).
NZ native ngirungiru/South Island tomtit in black, white and brown glass, with a wire overlay and painted eye, and secure hanging loop.
Measures 12cm in length, and 13cm in width. Hanging length is adjustable (comes with 15cm black ribbon).
Packaged with recycled materials to avoid generating unnecessary waste! Can be shipped within NZ and worldwide.
The inspiration:
The ngirungiru/South Island tomtit is endemic to NZ, and one of 5 species of tomtit in the country, inhabiting forest and shrublands. These adorable, small birds have large heads and a 'squeaky wheel' type call. Males are a striking black and white, while females are a duller black/brown. The tomtit's primary method of foraging involves scanning the surrounding area while perched on a branch or clinging to a trunk, and then flying forth to snatch up a prey item or moving to another perch to scan a new area.
Care:
- Made with materials that contain lead. The risk is minimal, but as a precaution wash hands after handling to avoid ingesting particles.
- Best kept inside for longevity.
Any questions, please get in touch!
