Spirit Birds

Wings of imagination, direct your Spirit to freely soar!
Sculptural art with engaging inspirational function.  The warmth of the undulating wood wings combine with an artisan glass marble that I’ve curiously captured with tolerances that allow the marble to rotate and spin. 
*****
​Curiosity and imagination naturally ignites the illimitable and inimitable positive potential (spirit) within each of us.

​Spirit Bird & Dreamsphere unite to inspire the imagination. I designed and sculpt Spirit Birds with raised center pedestal to set colorful spheres upon.  The warmth and beauty of the elegantly shaped Tiger Maple Spirit Bird wonderfully displays the brilliant iridescent colors of the radiant light sphere. The Dreamsphere is made by artist John Lowe of the UK whose Palantir sphere was featured in The Lord of The Rings. 
Cherry Spirit Bird.  23" Wingspan with 2-7/8" Dreamsphere.  Dreamspheres available Clear or Smoky.
Black Walnut Spirit Bir.  22.5" Wingspan with 2-7/8" Dreamsphere.  Dreamspheres available as Smoky or Clear.
