This cheerful wall hanging features a bullfinch bird sculpture, perched on floral wreath. His body is covered with hand cut feathers, which are made from hand printed papers, using traditional printing methods, such as monotype and screen printing. His signature coral belly and slate grey and black feathers contrast the coral flowers on his wreath rather nicely. The processes involved in making him ensure that his colour palette, textures and posture is unique to him. He has shiny black eyes and grey feet. He perches on a wreath adorned with tiny peach coloured blossoms. He is varnished with a satin lacquer, which gives him UV protection to ensure his colours remain vibrant, even in full sunshine. A combination of his design and 300 GSM sturdy recycled cardstock ensures he is a robust sculpture.

In various folk stories, the Bullfinch is said to be a symbol of good luck. This probably stems from their charming colours and disposition. Bullfinches have been residents of the UK for thousands of years, but are rather timid creatures, so it can take a bit of patience to spot them. They favour lowland wooded areas and a rather partial to fruit trees!

My last date for Christmas orders is Thursday 19th December, so that I can post on Friday 20th, to make sure they catch Father Christmas's sleigh.

Welcome to the paper sculpture menagerie. My name is Kate and I make handmade paper sculptures to bring cheer to your décor. Every one of my pieces is one of a kind, made from recycled 300 gsm paper (really sturdy cardstock). Each design is tested for durability, and they are varnished with a UV protective lacquer to seal their edges and protect their vibrant colours. Each sculpture is designed, individually printed, cut, assembled and embellished entirely by hand to make sure each and every one has its own unique character. Birds are my most favourite subject. I also make flowers and other wildlife. I am inspired by countryside walks and garden visitors. I often describe myself as a seasonal maker, as I can often be found at my desk making cosy pieces in the autumn and bright, cheerful blooms in the summertime. I’ve been making my sculptures for over 15 years now, and my work aims to evoke the joy I find in the great outdoors. I do hope they make you smile.
