Description
Handmade long-legged bird sculpture in anodised aluminium and copper wire. The anodised aluminium is coloured and printed with leaves and feather and cut to shape. The copper wire is bent into shape and coated in platinol to give a lovely black contrast against the aluminium. The wires are secured into a softwood base which has been white washed and waxed.
I often use leaves and feathers and make my own carved stamps to print on the aluminium which I then dye and cut to shape.
I love movement and on this particular sculpture the dragonfly bounces up and down with a slight breeze or touch.
All Ruby and Jack jewellery and sculpture is hand made by me from my workshop in Wiltshire. I make each item individually therefore there may be a slight variation in colour, print and size.
The sculpture measures 295 mm height, 140 mm width, 40 mm depth.

Absolutely love my long legged bird with dragonfly and lily pads sculpture. It’s so unusual and such beautiful and I’m so happy to display it in our home.
