Industrial Look Custom Birdhome

This birdhome was made by me it is a one of a kind original. It is approximately 20" tall 12" wide and 10" in depth.  The embellishments are all perfect for your favorite handyman or woman.  This would make an outstanding Father's Day gift.  This home will be available for sale at my Etsy shop, Primville.

Our Birdhomes are made from cedar and feature pressed tin or metal roofs, each has a hinged back for easy clean out.  With an endless selection of fun designs our unique bird homes are totally functional with proper ventilation and clean outs.  Our homes are guaranteed to please your feathered friends and enhance your environment. The cedar will last for years and the metal and embellishments will age and rust to a lovely patina.  If you would rather keep tin and embellishments from rusting just protect them once a year with a light spray of polyurethane.
With the vast destruction of natural habitats, it is more important than ever to give nature a helping hand.  By providing birdhouses in your yard you will start the surefire process of attracting birds and providing them much needed refuge.  The backyard birding hobby will reward you with the simple enjoyment of watching the birds, which is also found to be a great stress reliever.
Our unique birdhomes make for wonderful and long lasting gifts that can be enjoyed daily and gives  back to nature.  Many of our homes are delightful used as porch or interior décor and the hinged back enables you to add a battery operated tea light.

I said Mice but only posted a Mouse, here is the second one.



I created these mice for Christmas.. I know either really late or really early, but either way I adore how they came out a little cute and a bit creepy.

This mouse is approximately 9" tall and 5" wide, sculpted  from paperclay over a wire armature.  He is dressed in red pajamas and mounted on a wooden block that is covered with paper.  He would look adorable anytime of the year but his little handpainted sign makes him the perfect Christmas decoration.  These mice are original one of a kind creations created and made entirely by me, they are crafted from paperclay, painted with artist acrylics and double sealed with a matte varnish.
