NATURAL GOURD BIRD FEEDERS,
Bird Houses and Craft Gourds

Made from locally grown Birdhouse Gourds, these unusual birdhouses and feeders
are loved by birds of all kinds. The size of the gourd and the entrance hole is sized
for the type of bird. We have different sizes and shapes made for any type of bird
from tiny wrens to purple martins. It is well known that "Gourds Make The BEST Bird Houses."
Birds prefer natural gourd bird houses over manufactured housing. Birds will frequently choose
natural gourd birdhouses to raise their family. These gourds, when cleaned and scrubbed, acquire an
interesting mottled tan and brown color. Covered with a clear waterproofing primer, these colors are enhanced,
and a final coat of non-toxic exterior polyurethane gives a lustrous gloss that
weathers very well for many years. The Craft Gourds come in all shapes
and sizes, cleaned and primed and ready for whatever you want to make.
ACTION WHIRLIGIGS
Here are some great looking hand-made 'action whirligigs'. Set one up in the yard or garden and wind turns
the windmill type blades and the action goes on. Very amusing and endlessly
entertaining, it also repells moles. Hand made locally of hardwood and softwood, we have both
varnished and hand-painted woodchoppers, fishing bears, fishing man and many more country themes.
Using brass and aluminum fittings and heavily varnished, these whirigigs will surely last for many years. Unique and one-of-a-kind,
this folk art form will add much to your yard or garden.
HAND-PAINTED BIRDHOUSES
Finely detailed painting and scroll work on these various theme
birdhouses.
With 1 1/2" holes sized for..wren, swallow,
bluebird or woodpecker.
GOURD ART
Made from locally grown Birdhouse Gourds, these oddly shaped gourds all have a pleasing shape.
They are cleaned and then painted in bright Fall leaf colors. A final coat of spar exterior
varnish gives a lustrous gloss that will brighten any hearth or yard.
Outside the birdhouse will
last many seasons.
Some gourds are large enough to become a feeder.
CERAMIC BIRDS AND BUTTERFLIES
Here is a collection of great looking ceramic birds and butterflies. Unique and one-of-a-kind,
this unusual art form will surely surprise everyone. Not your 'normal' ceramic animals, these
are in two parts, held together with magnets. They are attached together, but on opposite sides
of a screen or window, giving the impression that they are flying through the window.
Impressive and cool.
