BILL MERRITT  Bill Mer­ritt makes cop­per gar­den art in his Mis­souri garage stu­dio. His spe­cialty is hum­ming­bird feed­ers. The glass he uses in his art began life as some­thing else—soda bot­tles, vases, can­dle­sticks, gaz­ing balls, decanters, decanter tops, and some glass that even Bill can’t iden­tify. From com­mon to ele­gant, each is united with cop­per and repur­posed as a fun and func­tional one-of-a-kind work of art.
