The Blue Heron - Glass Rivers

HERON
Approximately 30” x 10” x 12”
Created by Buck with the assistance of glass artist GingerELA in 2012. It consists of a 2-1⁄2 foot tall blue heron skeleton that is surrounded by an array of flowers, heron eggs and stones. Each piece in this masterpiece is functional. The head of the heron can be removed to expose the mouthpiece where air travels down to the spine, bubbling in the chest chamber and ending up between the shoulder blades. Each flower is a delicate sherlock that is exposed when turned upside down as well as ALL the eggs and stones, which are hand-held dry pieces.
