Christopher Blake grew up in a traveling circus.
He learned his craft from his grandfather, a carousel
horse carver in Germany. These delightful birdhouses
are true American folk art ~ whimsical, fun and
guaranteed show-stoppers. Christopher Blake
creates these unique works by carving a mold which
is then used to make each hand-finished piece.
A variety of ingredients are used, from crushed
walnuts and limestone to wood dust and sea shells,
then finished with his own unique blend of paints.
Each piece is signed by the artist.
