Hand carved and painted eggs in a domed cake stand (Sandhill Crane, Bald Eagle, Mottled Duck, Great Egret, Boat-tailed Grackle) and a Black Skimmer chick carving in a smaller cake stand. Both cake stands are from the Martha Stewart Collection at Macy's.
A Buff-bellied Hummingbird and Ruby-throated Hummingbird carving. Both sitting on wooden finials painted an aged gold color. The Ruby-throated Hummingbird is a common hummingbird here in South Florida during winter time. The Buff-bellied Hummingbird has been a resident for a few years now in Miami at a small park planted with lots of nectar plants. The gold vase is from the 2007 Martha Stewart 1800flowers.com collection. I gave one to my good friend in Houston to put at her restaurant but one of the customers broke it.
A carving of the brown form of the Eastern Screech-Owl. This bird is a resident at the Green Cay Nature Center and Wetland in Boynton Beach, FL. It has a home in a Sabal Palm near the path, but I haven't seen it except for the original time I saw it before carving this bird. I hope it hasn't been scared away and people are being respectful of it while observing it. In this picture its surrounded by Tropical Pitcher Plants, Nepenthes graciliflora and Nepenthes robcantleyi. The base is a wooden finial painted in an ombre tone of the stone block its sitting on.
