Announcement    Welcome!

HUMMINGBIRD FEEDERS: All of my hummingbird feeders are modeled in Polymer clay to resemble actual flowers that are used by hummingbirds. Each one is individually crafted to fit snugly into its individual bottle for a tight, leak resistant seal. All are functional works of art used readily by hummingbirds. Just pull the flower from the bottle, fill the bottle with 1 part white sugar to 4 parts water. Hang in your garden, and let the fun begin!

If you don't see what you want, feel free to contact me and I can custom make one (or more!) for you. Custom orders may be subject to extra charges, decided on a case by case basis. Sometimes there is no additional cost, but if I spend extra time tracking down an unusual bottle, or need to do an extra amount of research for a particular flower, it may be necessary to pass that cost on to the customer. If that is the case, I will be sure to discuss clearly with you so we can reach an agreement before the work is undertaken.

BIRD HOUSES:

My acorn bird houses are of high fire stoneware clay, hand thrown and sculpted, each with a specially designed locking roof that can be opened for cleaning. All have dimensions suitable for their intended species. I do not put perches on my houses because they are unnecessary, and may actually allow a predator unwelcome access to the occupants.

The breeding season is over in North America, but a bird house can be hung at any time of year. Hung in the fall, or winter, it may be used as a refuge from cold weather. If you don't see what you want, feel free to contact me with special requests.
