Ecoprinted Birdhouse
Ecoprinted Birdhouse
Birds love these houses! Hand-felted from pure Merino wool and then Ecoprinted to blend into a bird’s natural habitat. This is a labor-intensive process that produces a beautiful nature-infused work of art. Long lasting, highly water-resistant, and with a stem for hanging. Clean them out each fall and they will become a favorite nesting site year after year.
The process of felting begins with layering wool fibers that, with the addition of soap, water, and agitation, morph into a strong and beautiful shape. Ecoprinting only uses nature to make prints. Leaves are gathered from the landscape, laid down on fabric, and then simmered in a primordial soup of natural elements such as onionskins, walnut bark, and acorns.
The leaves used on this nest are eucalyptus, oak, sumac, rose, and maple.
Size is approximately 28” tall, 7” diameter, with a 1.5” opening
