Hummingbird Feeders
Liquor bottles wrapped with copper wire and finished with red feeder bases—a new purpose for a familiar shape.
Familiar bottles, new visitors
A bottle’s curves, patterns, and proportions give each feeder its own character. Copper wire wraps around the glass to form its hanger, while a red feeder base completes the transformation.
From a broad patterned bottle to a tall, slender shape, each one brings a different look to the garden.
