Maybe? i NEED a Funky Stained Glass Roof Rooster. The legs need to be firm and sturdy. something funky; like little garden rakes. and they need to attach to a heavy zinc/brass came that wraps around the bottom half of the bird in an nontraditional manner no doubt. or rebar and rebar legs if i can find a rebar bender. no flying off the roof allowed.
According to a stained glass friend, there are no straight lines in Nature. (nature being animals,birds, etc.) so for her, i put some extra curves into this bird. perhaps the reason the tail plumes look like they are going to bite something. the tail needs to touch the head. the space between the head and tail depends on what wraps the glass edge. the same thing for the roosters comb.
if my cutting tables were uncluttered might cut it tomorrow. (no i'm still tired from our holiday trip) I'm so fascinated with the little details that I'll make a small hanging version. a rusty star washer "eye" with a red pony bead held on with a wire knot/solder ball. (also does away with the cutting and fitting of a little glass eye) some barbed wire- like rusty buttons. a shiny new nail or penny in its mouth. jump rings of course. i think the pieces are cut-able. Happy New Year Marcia
