Birds of change update

My small flock of phoenixes is now winging its way to Arizona (how fitting) for Creative Kismet's birds of change exchange. 

This was a fun and challenging project and I plan to write about the process of heat-coloring copper in an upcoming post. In the meantime, here are a few more photos. 

The whole flock, finished and strung.
