Each one of my birdhouses is an expression of my love of form – some are curvaceous and reminiscent of musical instruments while others are geometric with very straight- forward lines. I use reclaimed barn metal on the roofs and weave the metal to make the sides of each birdhouse. Form goes hand-in-hand with function in all of my birdhouse designs. Each one is well ventilated and some have floors built into the interior to support nesting materials. I use only cedar and cypress woods so they are rot-resistant and weather proof. The entry holes are sized to attract eastern and western song birds but each birdhouse provides a safe and comfortable nesting place for most birds.
I will be bringing lots of unique designs to the show that I do not have in my Etsy Shop.
