Weathervanes and other items that awaken with the wind appear to be his favorite pieces. "I love the wind, spiritually and personally," Mr. Ferris explained. "There's something about seeing it move things… I mean, I don't like cold wind, but I love what it does."

"(The Ice Dancer) is something I just wanted to do and wanted to try," he said, as he proudly displayed his latest creation. Within the glass panes of the sculpture, a young girl made of hammered copper twirls on her ice skates, her arms outstretched and her hair "blowing" in the wind.

The girl was created after his own daughter, Rebecca. Beneath the skater's feet is a pane of mirrored glass, meant to depict her skating pond, while the exterior of the lantern is the weathervane - a faceted hood which, when it catches the breeze or wind, will twirl the skater within.

"This is hours of work – the skater alone is a full 40 hours," Mr. Ferris said.

"This is for my home. I'm going to put this on a post in the yard. It's a pretty special piece."
