🐦Cardinal symbolizes the spiritual messenger of our lost loved ones. Perfect gift for those who have passed away but are still living in their hearts.


I always loved the sentiment that cardinals appear when angels are near. While carving this, I made some mistakes by snapping the bark that frames the carving. At first, I planned on glueing it but I couldn't help thinking that the broken frame serves as a more important sentiment that without death, there cannot be life. The dead branch provides a place for moss and lichen to grow and makes room for new growth on the tree. In a time where too many are experiencing death and loss, I hope that all can find hope and see the light from the ones they love.

This cardinal was hand carved and painted in a thin slab of basswood. At 7閳?tall, 8 闄嗛垾?wide, and 鎴垾?thick, this little cardinal will look terrific hanging on the wall.
