"Crimson & Tide" - Handmade Copper Wrapped Hummingbird Swing

"Crimson & Tide" - Handmade Copper Wrapped Hummingbird Swing

$24.99Price
Quantity

The Sunrise is our largest hummingbird swing; a bold, generous arc of hand-twisted copper wire strung with hand-selected glass and crystal beads that catch the light beautifully at any hour. The perch is made from grapevine harvested from a neighbor's backyard, wrapped and secured with copper wire by hand.


Every detail is made to last outdoors and to draw the eye of a passing hummingbird. Each Sunrise 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 9 inches tall, 5–6 inches wide

  • Hand-shaped copper wire frame

  • Hand-selected red, large crystal beads, with red and blue glass speckled beads

  • 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: The Sunrise collection is named for the time of day my eldest child was born and as it happens, one of the times our hummingbird loves most to come and rest. The product photos in this listing were taken on my own back porch, where the same hummingbird visits this swing every day. He found it on his own and claimed it as his. There's nothing quite like watching a hummingbird settle in on something you made.


Care

  • Copper weathers naturally over time, developing a warm patina

  • To preserve the bright finish, bring indoors during heavy rain or winter

  • A light coat of clear jewelry sealant can help maintain the copper color

  • Grapevine perch may show natural variation in color and texture - this is part of its character


If you have a request of a color and size please reach out. I am happy to make custom orders.

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.
