This happy little chap is a Calliope hummingbird paper sculpture. He has a bright green back, mottled belly and bright pink cheeks. He is one of a kind and made from hand printed papers. His hand cut paper feathers are varnished with an iridescent lacquer, to make him as shimmery as his wildlife counterparts. His eyes are faceted black beads and he has a dark grey beak and feet.
His wreath is adorned with soft pink clematis flowers. There are 10 of them dotted about his wreath, with delicate peach middles.
The main frame of the wreath is paper covered steel wire, which is very sturdy. It hangs from the wall via a hand formed hook, suspended on invisible fishing line, so that you can hang it from a picture rail or on a nail tack on your wall. The varnish offers UV protection, so he’s just as happy on the wall as he is in the window in full sunshine.
Other types of hummingbird and flowers are available. Do get in touch if you would like something made especially for you.
Measurements: 26 cm (10 inches) tall and 22 cm (9 inches) wide. The humming bird is 10 cm (4 inches) from head to tail tip.
Free UK delivery. My sculptures arrive wrapped in a box, adorned with paper ribbons.
The Taino people believed hummingbirds were a symbol of peace and protection, and they called their mighty warriors after them. Jamaica adopted it as their national bird because of its association with beauty and peace.

Here’s a little video of the Calliope hummingbird, so that you can see his size against my hands, and also just how shimmery he is!
