Japanese Gyotaku style fish art, 3 pc. set; 20"x 28" Gyotaku (gyo "fish" + taku "rubbing") is a traditional form of Japanese fish printing, in which an actual fish is placed on a surface and then painted on one side with sumi ink. Next the artist places a piece of paper over the ink-covered fish, and rubs the material until the image of the fish is transferred to it. Gyotaku dates back to the mid-1800s. This form of nature printing was used by fishermen to record their catches, but has also become an art form of its own.

Their small size, excellent camouflage, unfussy nesting habits, and varied diet make Eastern and Western Screech Owls successful survivors, and the eastern birds adjust well to human presence. In fact, the suburbs may provide more prety, milder climates, and fewer predators than rural areas. Place this handmade nesting box ideally in a shaded area in sparse woods, streamside forests, farmland, or a suburban backyard. Avoid facing the nest hole north, but either east or south when possible, as these owls like to sit in the entranceway, even during the day, to soak up the sun.

The sight of an Eastern Bluebird always brings a thrill, with their vibrant blue and rusty red coloring. Give them a cozy nest so you can enjoy them in your yard! To protect the birds from both sun and rain, face this handcrafted house southeast and mount it at a height of about 5' with a clear flyway in front of it. And be sure to mount in on a greased metal pipe or PVC tubing. Mounting it on a fence post or utility pole is an invitation to predators.

This one of a kind piece is a wearable collage, an homage to nature. Dark blue mottled beads grace the neck and the metal pendant is accented with birds in flight. Truly unique and stunning.

Wear your love of nature! Dragonfly beads are picasso glass. Other beads are copper and Swarovski crystals. Necklace clasp is copper. Earwires are Nobium which is surgical steel and hypoallergenic.
