Maine loves its chickadees and so do we. They are with us, cheerful on a bright winter’s day and present in woods and fields all summer long. This little on sits on a pussy willow branch - another quiet sign of life in the transition of spring. How I love to hear them sing through the pine forest - “Chicka-dee-dee-dee”. A thin veneer of polymer in millefiori marquetry is pieced together to form the top surface of this wall sculpture and the branch is strengthened with a 10 gauge nickel silver wire that is imbedded in the polymer branch. The body of the bird is backed with 1/4 inch maple plywood and then has a small wooden collar which houses a very strong rare earth magnet. It mounts to the wall with a coordinating countersunk magnet. As a result the bird and branch actually sit about 3/4” off the wall creating a rather realistic sense of depth. Edges of the branch and bird are painted with acrylic paints. 5” H x 14” w x 1” D
