Although I usually make those small, glittering glass vessels, I also love working with metal and off-the-shelf items. I get to scour antique shops and thrift stores for the just-right off-the-shelf objects that I alter, lathe, mill, polish and solder to incorporate into my articulated, shiny birds, which I call “Flights of Fancy”. Most Flights of Fancy have a captain (or a captain’s chair) visible behind one eye and every Flight of Fancy is leg-banded with its number and my signature on it.
