Made this piece for my grandmother a few years ago. It represents my grandfather who was in the Navy in WWII. He had two sparrows tattooed on his chest (among others as sailors did) and me and my sisters always resonated with that imagery. Appropriately I’m now sitting in her home in Minnesota where it sits permanently next to his photo. I was also amused that where it hangs on a tap lamp you can use my piece to brighten the light. My grandmother turns 90 in week and I’m so excited to get to celebrate here with her 🎂 ❤️
