"Beloved" - Handmade Copper Wrapped Hummingbird Swing

$19.99Price
Quantity

The Aurora is our medium hummingbird swing — a graceful copper wire arch strung with hand-selected glass and crystal beads with a soft, shifting iridescence. Delicate without being fragile, it moves gently in a breeze and catches light in a way that seems to change by the hour. The perch is made from grapevine harvested from a neighbor's backyard, wrapped and secured with copper wire by hand.


Each Aurora swing is entirely one of a kind. No two are exactly alike in bead arrangement or grapevine character — what you receive is the exact piece shown.


Details

  • Approximately 7.5–8 inches tall, 5–6 inches wide

  • Hand-shaped copper wire frame

  • Hand-selected glass and crystal beads - Clear large crystal beads with a large heart pendant

  • Grapevine perch, foraged locally

  • Includes a handmade copper S-hook — ready to hang

  • One of a kind — each piece is unique

  • Made in the USA


Hanging & Placement

  • Hang within a few feet of your nectar feeder — ours is about 4 feet away

  • Doesn't need to be in direct view of the feeder; around a corner works once they discover it

  • A covered porch or roof ledge is ideal — shelter keeps the swing moving gently

  • Hummingbirds prefer a clear sightline so they can watch their surroundings while resting

  • 5–8 feet off the ground works best

    A note from the maker: Both the Sunrise and Dusk Collections are named for the time of day my eldest and youngest children were born - and, as it happens, the times our hummingbird loves most to come and rest. The product photos were taken on my own back porch, where the same hummingbird visits this swing every day. (Rainy days he spends hours here) He found it on his own and claimed it as his. There is nothing quite like watching a hummingbird settle in on something you made.
