Swimming PENGUIN on BURL WOOD Driftwood SCULPTURE by JOHN PERRY

JOHN PERRY ~ SWIMMING PENGUIN on BURL WOOD Driftwood ~ smoothed and honed so it's absolutely gorgeous & feels wonderful to the touch ~ complete with his name logo plaque on the side (& tiny felt tabs on the bottom so it won't scratch your furniture) From John Perry website (written by him)... "Back in 1973, I opened John Perry Studio understanding that sculptures do not have to be cast in bronze or carved out of marble. I knew then that there were more price conscious and accessible ways to make inspiring sculpted art. ... During the nearly five decades, I have been able to put this idea into practice, and have had the satisfaction and pleasure of seeing my work find its way into millions of people’s homes. ... The forces behind my work have been and continue to be my love of the natural world, the wild creatures that inhabit the natural world, and my desire to see these creatures protected... " ** I think it's an added bonus when you can read what the artist himself feels about his work ~ you feel like it was made just for you! This measures about 5"x3-1/2" on biggest part of base (underneath) ~ about 5-1/4" from tip of nose to back of tail & 4-1/8" wingspan. It's just about 5-1/2" tall at the tip-top of the upper end of one wing. REALLY PRETTY and just makes you want to pick it up and feel it! ** Would make a great gift for either sex ~ and look great on a nice wood desk in someone's office. I can ship up to 5 lbs in the same box so check out my other penguins.
