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 are rather partial to fruit trees! I think they are so beautiful. It is my intention to capture the joy I find in nature for your walls and shelves. I hope you like him. Pairs can also be made especially for you, as well as different flowers or leaves on the wreath, so did get in touch if you would like to order a special piece.
