Loon Scapular Feather Splay
Loon Scapular Feather Splay
This sculpture of a series of common loon feathers will make the perfect addition to a nature-lover’s shelf or mantlepiece. Great for birdwatchers, nature enthusiasts and bird nerds. They are guaranteed to make a great conversation piece and will fit on nearly any wall!
The feathers are hand-carved out of birch wood and painted with milk paint. They are true to size and are mounted on a cherry board with dowels for a 100 percent wood construction. The feathers appear to “float” above the mounting board, causing fun shadows depending on where you put it in your home. The backs of the feathers are completely unfinished and left intentionally rough, encouraging exploration and proof that they are indeed wood upon close inspection. The entire piece is finished with tung oil. The brass plaque displays the common and scientific name and is fastened with antique brass slotted screws. The back is signed and dated and has picture wire installed.
This sculpture measures approximately 10” x 5”
These sculptures are being offered on a sliding scale to make them more accessible to people with a variety of incomes. Please select the price point that you feel comfortable paying. I am happy with all of the prices, so please don’t feel bad for selecting the low end. That being said, this system relies on some people selecting the higher range if they can afford to do so. If you do select the higher end, please know that you are supporting this price model and making it possible for more people to have handmade items in their homes and support independent artists. I greatly appreciate it.
