In the realm of comforting superstitions, cardinals flutter in like tiny, crimson-clad messengers from the great beyond. The legend is, when a cardinal appears, a departed loved one has come to visit. Maybe just to say hello, or perhaps to bring a message. Accordingly, each one of these cardinals has been named after someone who has passed and remains deeply missed. A beloved emblem of the holiday season, cardinals bring a sense of hope and remembrance at the most special time of the year. Each one of these miniature works of art are one-of-a-kind. No two are alike. They come with a ribbon attached for hanging on your tree, but can just as easily hang on your wall all year round.
How does this work?
- You select a cardinal based on color.
- By December 1 or sooner, I will mail your cardinal(s) to your address - domestic orders should arrive before Christmas with wiggle room to spare!
Can I order more than one cardinal?
Yes! Order away!
Can I see the specific cardinal?
No, the surprise is part of the fun!
Can I name my cardinal?
Not this time. My custom named cardinals sold out!
I live nearby - can I pick up my order or have it dropped off at my home?
Sorry friend. No local pickup or delivery this time! Your cardinal will be nicely packaged and shipped (and this will allow me to get it to you faster!)
Okay, I can't see the exact art until it arrives - but can you give me specifics on how the artwork is made?
- Every cardinal is 4"x 6"x.75" on an artist-grade cotton canvas using archival paint and varnish. These cardinals are made to last for generations!
- Every cardinal in the Porch Goose Blue colorway carries shades in the medium glue range, ranging from deeper turquoise to traditional French blue, similar to the blue ribbons your Grandma used to tie into bows on her cement porch goose. Yeah you know the one! You will find each cardinal is different and features a variety of colors and textures; paint, collaged papers, and some even sparkle!
- Every cardinal comes with a black and white stripe ribbon. Don't want the ribbon and just see it hanging flat on the wall? No problem. Give it a few firm twists and the ribbon will unscrew. The canvas will easily hang on any standard nail.
Because every cardinal is different, your ornament will be a surprise. Hang them on your wall or your tree - the cardinals choose their homes better than I ever could.
Merry Christmas!
