MetalScape - Roadrunner at the Birdbath 150 sas

“Roadrunners at the Birdbath” is a metal collage which is constructed from brass, copper, nickel, and foil.  It is a representation of two Roadrunners visiting a neighborhood garden with a birdbath.  Looks like Mom is showing her juvenile a source of drinking water.  Yards without cats and dogs are a resource for these birds.

Mom is a pierced (hand-cut) brass overlay on nickel.  The juvenile is pierced (hand-cut) copper overlay on nickel.  They are perched on the rim of a copper birdbath.  There is a nickel boulder in the forefront. The garden flowers and bushes are embossed in silver-tone foil. The background is copper with engraved rays of sunshine. The elements have a variety of piercing, stamp work, and oxidation methods for details. 4” X 6” Metal in a 5” X 7” Custom Maple Shadowbox Frame
