The hummingbird sun catcher is an ornamental pattern, having hummingbird painted on it, made of or on glass which is hung in a window and it captures sunlight. The sunlight passes through the sun catcher and evolves a lovely, multi-colored shine in the room. Most of them are made of glass or stained glass and you can make your own sun catcher with crystal, recycled CD or tissue paper etc. Hummingbirds are kind of small birds which have the ability to hover in the air. They are capable of hovering, deliberate flying backwards or vertically and to maintain position while they drink the nectar of flowers. They are called hummingbirds because of the humming sound produced by the movement of their wings.
As of the known history it was the Southwestern American Indians who first started to make the sun catchers and they are still popular the same way in the region. The Sun catchers can be manufactured on the mass scale and they can be created by hand also on limited scale. They vary to be from very simple design to the state of art handmade glass sculpture. They vary in designs also as some designs are pretty simple whereas, there can be found more artistic and complex which have plants, animals and even birds. In very simple terms the sun catcher is something like the optical counterpart of a wind chime and a number of designs do combine them both.
Making of the sun catcher is pretty difficult and it is a real form of art which involves the deepest of the observations and aesthetic sense to choose the colors and then to sold the glass pieces in a way that they form into a hummingbird which can attract the eyes of a buyer. It comes in multiple colors and designs both and looks so real. The only thing which one cannot hear is the humming sounds of the hummingbird. The humming bird is made of different pieces like the body is a different piece, the throat forms of a separate piece and the wings are formed of a separate piece. Pastel colors are generally used to give life to these sun catchers. All the pieces are hand cut and assembled in a method which is termed as tiffany method. Each piece of glass is wrapped up with copper foil and then all the pieces are pasted together both from front and back. Then the lead framing is wrapped around the main piece having two loops soldered to the back including a chain to hang.
The hummingbird sun catcher as referred above is handmade but as far as the bulk production is concerned the quality of art may not be the kind which you can get from the handmade sun catchers. The hummingbird sun catchers are the choice of very special people and it really gives a very special look when it is hung on the window of your sitting room or the drawing room.
