Description Scarlet Ibis Suncatcher...

This is a Scarlet Ibis.
It inhabits Tropical South America and Island of the Caribbean.
One of the most stunning sights you can ever see are the hunderds and hunderds of Scarlet Ibis flying all together at sunset into the trees. The green trees turn red from all those Scarlet Ibis who sleep there for the night. This is a suncatcher representing that beautiful sight of nature.

This beautiful suncatcher with a Scarlet Ibis is handmade using only glass, Swarovski crystal, Czech glass and gemstones (Aventurine). No acrylic! The beautiful materials reflect sunlight in a most stunning way. It has a glorious large dark red feature glasskristal prism at the bottom.

The Ibis is really beautiful
I also like the little leaves at the tree and the moon in the background. Did you make them yourself?

Thanks a lot Katinka and no the leaves and moon are metal ornaments, the only thing I did not make but corporated into my piece.   95% of each piece is fully handmade by me but I always add some kind of ornament to make it complete. Sometimes I use reall shell or murano glass to add to my work or I use a large round gemstone as a moon, wich a obviosly did not make myself aswell  .

Thanks Jessica.. that is exactly what I had in mind. I saw all the hunderds of Scarlet ibis in Trinidad flying over the swamp. They fly all together into the trees at sunset to sleep there for the night.

This is such a beautiful creation! Just asking, what mainly inspires you to make these? They're so amazing!

illustrisdesigns In reply to FluffballCharlie [2016-07-11 15:10:01 +0000 UTC]

Hi Charlie thank you so much! I get my inspiration out of life, my dreams and mythology. I also love nature, music and snorkling. There is a piece of me in everything I make. When I battle with loss, I make an Angel and when I am in a fantasy modus I make a Phoenix.   This specific piece was inspired by a trip I made to my Family in Trinidad & Tobago. I saw the hunderds of Scarlet Ibis on a swamp while they where flying into the trees. I am passionated about staying creative and I just fell in love working with wire and making suncatchers, candleholders and wire sculptures.

Wow!!! Such a beautiful description! I don't know what else to say....You're so creative and amazing! You have such wonderful inspirations as well!

How long did this take you to make?

illustrisdesigns In reply to FluffballCharlie [2016-07-11 15:46:46 +0000 UTC]

Oh that is so kind thanks Charlie Some pieces I have been working on for weeks or months even, like for instance my Immortelle tree, Cherry blossom family tree etc. Suncatchers normally takes about 2 full work days. This one took a little bit longer because of the wings. Each end of the feather has a bead, so that takes some extra time.
