Tiny Hammer-Formed Brass Bird Ornament

I started an Etsy shop about a week ago, and put up all my usual pieces, which are way too expensive for the typical Etsy shopper. I did it on the sage advice of someone who is very successful at internet marketing, the idea being that it is very inexpensive advertising. After thinking about it a while, I was able to come up with something that is more in the Etsy price range, it’s a tiny bird, made the same way as my other bird I recently showed here, http://shelbyvision.ganoksin.com/blogs/2009/08/18/hammer-formed-brass-bird-sculpture-how-it-was-made/. Since it’s so small (the bird is 3″ long), there’s much less time involved in making it. Hopefully I can come up with more ideas for inexpensive pieces.
