A beloved North American bird, shown perched on a spray of bare winter branches accented with golden oak leaves. This hardy bird spends all winter with us, and can be spotted in backyard feeders all winter long. Cardinals are often held as reminders of a lost loved one, and this handmade Cardinal ornament can act as a reminder of someone special whose absence is felt so more during the holiday season.

This festive scene is created with high quality Japanese air dry clay, cast with a silicone mold. It is then painted by hand with artist’s grade acrylic paints. It’s presented on a small oval scalloped edge plaque made of ⅛” birch ply and painted in a deep shade of blue (Farrow & Ball’s “Stiffkey Blue”) and signed on the reverse with a gold clay seal.

Hangs easily with a looped velvet ribbon in a soft shade of mauve, and sealed with acrylic varnish to ensure years of tree trimming. 

Dimensions:

Plaque measures 3” long

Ribbon loop is approx 2” long
