hummingbird feeder #2


More on this here.

hummingbird feeder #1


It's hanging on a wooden spoon stuck in the crack between the freezer and refrigerator. Not the best display, I realize that, but it's what I thought of for the nonce. 


The greatest care was taken to entwine the copper strands with machinelike precision to replicate precisely as possible a liana entanglement.

Psych. This stuff is easy to bend but not so easy to twist. The bottle can be unhooked. 



The bottle is wearing a skirt.



And the skirt doesn't match the flower.

At all.

ink bottle




This is an ink bottle probably a little larger than actual size, four inches total, found in a hole in England.

Dating from the 1890, which is like a century, blown glass, BIM, the bottle people call it, for blown in mold. . 

Bare, Morecambe Bay, United Kingdom according to eBay description page whence these photos, a dreary place, the bay, according to Google images, but thank you for digging up this bottle I do appreciate all the digging. 

This is the hole.


Anyway it will make a super hummingbird feeder. I think.

For the wayward wandering hummingbird during migration, not for a steadily active hummingbird area. It would be too small for that.

But this is the ink bottle that I've been waiting for and had to out-bid other people for, sorry to disappoint them, but I needed this unique bottle for this specific thing.
