Sculptural Bird Feeder 221 by Joe Papendick




This hand crafted, welded steel & copper birdfeeder stands approximately 6' tall. The upright support is welded to an 'I-beam' shaped base which has been uniquely designed to allow the piece to stand securely upright when 'planted' into the ground approximately 8 -10 inches deep. The 'feeder' portion consists of a welded stainless steel screen designed to hold bird seed a safe distance off the ground. Shielded to a degree from rain, wind, and sun - the stainless steel screen allows for rapid drainage of any water, and will never rust through.  Once 'planted' into the soil, the design allows for the roots of surface vegetation to reach through and firmly anchor the piece into the ground. The top 'feeder' portion is designed to allow for enough gentle movement to replicate the subtle natural motion of tree branches. When 'planted' in the yard, these pieces are designed to serve a dual purpose - both as feeders for birds, and as a continuing visual inspiration for their benefactors.

Felted Soap with Jumping Bunny by SoFino


SoFino Heart Felted Soaps combine high quality soaps with the exfoliating power of soft Merino wool. Simply hold the bar under running water and rub gently, the suds will lather through the wool. This fantastic soap lasts longer than a regular bar and does not leave a bit a soap to throw away in the end. Plus, you are left with a reusable product; a wool scrubbing pad; wool pouch (put a slit in one end); wool drawer freshener (just place a few drops of essential oils inside); or place your favorite soap inside and use it again and again and again. Each item is handmade and is completely unique!

Lost Childhood by Thames Art


Gary from Thames Art was born and raised in Stepney in London's East End; his family history can be traced back for at least 200 hundred years in London, probably longer. In each piece of work he tries to reflect up to 2000 years of London history; from Roman occupation through the great plagues and fires that have blighted London, through empire building and brisk commerce, right up to the present day. Each piece is unique and always has a story to tell. These 1950's lead figures represents lost boy childhoods. All those young boys who played so intently and then somehow lost these beautifully made soldiers are now at the very best old men slowly heading towards nostalga and if they ever see this work they might wonder what on earth happend to his soldier collection too. I know I do. 19 3/4x 19 3/4 (50x50cm)
