Red Delight - Richmondena cardinalis

Lafayett ID United States
Being an Indiana native, my fascinated with our state Bird, the Cardinal- northern Cardinal - ( Richmondena cardinalis cardinalis,,order Passeriformes, Family Cardinalidae) has grown over the years. Watching them feed in my backyard feeders has given me the opportunity to study and observe their beauty and behaviors. So I chose have my flame worked glass cardinal to reside in among the branches and flowers that might easily hide him. Perhaps he might quickly dart to another red beauty - the red rose. The red roses are furnace worked, applied hot to my hand blown vessel. The framework cardinal piece is an inserted topper to the furnace vessel.
