Wren Bird Sculpture

£65.00

A paper sculpture depicting a little wren, made from hand-printed papers in coppery brown and cream. His body is entirely covered in hand-cut paper feathers, which are made from mono-printed papers. His mottled and stripey markings are unique to him, just like his pose. All of my bird sculptures are handmade to ensure each little fella is one of a kind.

He measures 11 cm from beak to tail, and around 8 cm tall.

In Celtic folklore, the wren is declared the King of all birds, after winning a flying competition on which he rode on an eagle’s back. Technically he flew the highest of all the birds, winning by cunning rather than a show of strength. And so the wren has come to symbolize wit and intelligence.

Wrens are tiny but loud birds, and embody the small-but-mighty attitude. Having one visit your garden is said to be a symbol of joy and good luck. They’re all over the UK, so listen out for their tic-tic-tic call if you’re trying to spot one! They are normally hiding in the hedgerow. It is always such a delight to spot one! I’m usually more fond of flashier colours, but I do love all of the patterns and textures of the wren feathers, and it is fun to try to emulate that in my mark making for my paper feathers.
