New Arrival: Mullanium Birds

We're excited to announce the arrival of 3 painted and embellished birds by Mullanium. This is the same studio responsible for the mixed media jewelry and wall mirrors. The birds are the work of Jim Mullan, and made from a 50's hand-carved wood bird. The form is painted and adorned with objects and materials that include at times, but not always limited to: watch & jewelry parts, cut metal rulers, and metal elements from their other work. Each piece is treated as an individual art piece, so no two are alike. Here, the birds rests on a spool. On other pieces here at 16 Hands, the bird has lighted on a croquet ball, and an upturned pair of opera glasses.

Other sculptures will make their way onto our site soon, but for now the piece shown above can be seen here.
