Finished up a job for the new Tennessee Governor's Residence... these birds will be positioned around/about another statue we haven't seen yet. Likely we'll have to do some gilding touch-up after they are installed around the main figure. These pieces were created by Sherri Warner-Hunter, and they are very cool. They are hollow bronze, with a wonderful patterned finish, and we gilded them with pure gold... 24 karat. Hopefully, if people can keep their hands off them and actual birds can keep their poop off them, they'll look this good for many years. Can't wait to get over to the grounds and see them actually installed! (Although the top bird appears to be dive-bombing the others, the photo just went in wrong @#$%^&!
Anyway... the sculptor came and got them today... bye bye birdies.
Purdy birdies...
