Inquire

"Most people have experienced watching hummingbirds around a feeder. I wanted to mimic this interactive experience, and to capture the playful nature of these birds. Attached to wires, the carved hummingbirds hardly ever sit still – just like hummingbirds in real life. I hope this box inspires joy and creativity."
