About
Hanging Hummingbird sculpture designed and crafted by artist Cindy Cantelon.
This lovely life size hummer is perfect for hanging in a window or outside under a porch. In south/west coast of Canada, some hummingbirds overwinter because people leave out their hummingbird feeders all year long. In Halfmoon Bay, where the population is lower so don’t see them very much or none at all over the winter months but they always show up mid March like clockwork, a sure sign of spring. We have the Rufus and Annas hummingbirds here and yes we do feed them from March until August, by then they’re on their way back south for the winter. I guess we share hummingbirds with Californians, summer in Canada winter in California, sounds good to me! 🙂
The original Hummingbird is sculpted in wax then cast using the lost wax method, made in a bronze sculpture and reproduced in silver pewter. The piece is copper plated, finished with a colorful copper patina and a protective clear coat to maintain it’s beautiful finish. The wire cord used for hanging the hummingbird sculpture is made of stainless steel with copper crimps forming a loop to use to attach to a hook. It is strong and durable.
Each hummingbird has a unique patina finish, no two sculptures are alike.
Cindy’s formal studies were in fine art, painting, drawing, photography and sculpture. She lives and works with her husband, Marshall creating art at their country home/workshop/studio on the west coast of British Columbia, just a couple hours and one ferry ride northwest of Vancouver.
Nature is Cindy’s inspiration. She has been creating her Earthly Creatures Designs for over 25 years!
They hand design and produce all their art metal work. Their designs start off as an idea, then are carved and sculpted in wax and cast in bronze using the lost wax method. They create all our jewellery and small sculpture designs. Some of the materials they used are sterling silver, gold, bronze, copper and silver pewter. The pewter we use is 100% lead-free with a touch of real silver in it. It’s the highest quality pewter one can use. The copper plating is of the finest quality.
Each one of their pewter pieces is handcrafted so no two finishes will look exactly the same. Their unique patinas are true and strong and sealed with a clear protective coating.
