wooden Chick Push Puppet
More Toys and Games
Sometimes the older toys are more addictive than video games. And, this little push puppet is one of those toys. Simply push the button in the bottom of the base and these two little fellows start pecking the ground - and sometimes each other. The mechanism is all old-fashioned - made of string and wood and painted in a bright and cheery fashion.
This pair is perfect for an Easter basket, a Christmas stocking, or just a wonderful little gift for a host, hostess and their kids!
From the bottom of the base to the top of their combs, it is 3-1/2 inches.

Hand-Carved Wooden Skull Bead
One of our larger skull beads, this hand-carved skull is made of darkened wood in China. It's perfect for Day of the Dead and Hallowe'en projects - or, because of its rich color, it would be perfect in any earth-tone project. Because these beads are hand-carved, they are all different. Each one measures about 1 inch high by 15/16 wide. The hole runs from top to bottom.

Wood Plaque with bark
More Wood
Mini Pine Cones
For your rustic projects, this slice of wood is just perfect! Add a few mini pinecones and a vintage holiday scrap picture and you'll have a treasure to behold. You can make this little plaque hangable by adding a screw eye to the top, or by carving or drilling a hole in the back. But, our favorite way to hang it is to staple a piece of leather or felt on the back to create a hanging loop. We saw this technique used on some older ornaments and just love the look!
Each slice is similar to the illustration, but because these are cut from natural wood branches, of course each will differ slightly in the size and the look. We just love the bark around the plaque. The average size is about 5-3/4 inches by 2-1/4 inches by 1/4 inch thick. So please allow for some variation.

yARTstick - 2000 years of Painting on 2000 MM
More Tools
More Collage, Assemblage & Altered Art
By the running meter - the yARTstick presents, in four-color prints, highlights of 2,000 years of painting history. It allows you to tell at a glance that though the themes have barely changed, their manifestations certainly have. This wooden ruler features illustrations and a measuring stick in centimeters and millimeters.
On the yARTstick, the history of painting of the last 2000 years is depicted in 58 selected pictures. The selection process has yielded a mixture of world famous as well as lesser known motifs, which together express the most important themes, techniques and temperaments. The line of images illustrates the development through the centuries: From Roman funeral art and mosaics in the first centuries AD, through works of Islamic, Chinese and Mayan art, into the Renaissance and on to the modern era. Details of eyes and hands are recurring motifs throughout the two millenniums.
On one side of the yARTstick, folding ruler are the pictures. On the flip side, where the 2,000 years of painting history are divided into 2000 mm, the individual works of art are placed in their historical context and referenced according to the period and the artist, the title of the work, the technique used, the year of the work's creation and the country of origin. If the work is immobile, the city where it is located is also named.

Unfinished Angel Santo Retablo

More Shrines & Shrine Supplies
Ready for you to finish with stain or paint, this wonderful Santo figure might also be called a mask. It has been hand-carved in Mexico by a traditional artisan, in the same manor that Santos have been created for decades.
The Santo measures about 10-1/2 inches wide by about 5-1/8 inch high and is about 2 inches from front to back. The back is flat, giving the piece many possibilities: add to a piece of furniture or a decorative box or shrine, or add a hook for the wall!
Each angel is, of course, different, because each is hand-made from wood. Some are made of a single piece of wood, others have been made of several pieces. Please let us choose one for you.

Mixed Milagros Woodblocks
Hand carved woodblocks have been the traditional means of printing in Nepal for centuries. Even today, prayer books in Himalayan Buddhist monasteries are printed from such blocks.
This set of mixed milagro images was created in the same traditional manner. The elegantly carved blocks are images of eyes (sometimes known as Saint Lucy's eyes), a flaming heart, a hand and a house.
Handheld tools are carefully used to cut the designs out of "sisau", a type of cedar. Lokta paper handmade from the bark of the Daphne tree is traditionally harvested so that the tree may regenerate.
To print, simply press your woodblock onto the inkpad provided (or one of your own). Then on a padded surface (for example on a pile of newspapers or several layers of cloth), place a piece of lokta paper and firmly press the woodblock. Gently rock the block in all directions to achieve a clear print.
A description of milagros accompanies the set, too.

Small Burl Display Pedestal
Originally produced as netsuke stands, these sweet little burl wood display pedestals are expertly formed from natural wood. Burls are actually growth abnormalities (aka knots) gone right. A small burl was selected and carved, sanded and polished to make this our stand. It measures about 2 inches in diameter and stands about 4/5 inch high.
We love these as additions to shrines, memory boxes and shadow boxes. They also make perfect little end tables for dollhouses!
As our burl pedestals are made of natural wood and are hand-carved, each one is unique. Please let us choose one for you.

Shaman Smudging Supplies
Whether you are performing a cleansing ceremony before healing, or just because you enjoy the scent, you'll enjoy our smudging supplies. It is important to cleanse the soul and body of bad spirits, negative energies and thoughts. These traditional items are prepared in much the same manner as they have been for generations of Native Americans. The herbs are quite aromatic, even if just displayed and never burned. Smudging involves taking the smoke in to your hands and brush or rub it over your body.
Our sage and cedar bundle measures between 6 and 8 inches long and is tightly woven (ties may differ). This is just the right size for personal use or for use in a sweat lodge.
Although not necessary for cleansing or ceremonies, a traditional smudge burner is the natural abalone shell. The hand-carved stand is just right for a wonderful way to display your smudge, but we can imagine the shell and stand the perfect base for many natural room accents.
Our combination smudge stick brings together the cleansing characteristics of sage and the connection to our ancestors represented by cedar.
Add our Smudging and Blessings Book and save!
Never leave smudge (sweetgrass or other) burning unattended and please use caution.

Wooden Nicho Shrine with Concha
We were so excited when we received these! They were made especially for SilverCrow.
Our Wooden Nicho can be used as a shrine or shadowbox - perfect for a diorama or special memory box.
It is free standing (see the side view) - but easily adapts to hanging if you add a picture hanger to the back.
The shadowbox portion is about 5-1/4 inches wide by about 7 inches high. The niche is approximately 1-1/2 inches deep and about 3-1/2 inches high by 2-1/4 inches wide. The concha curved part on top) measures about 2-1/4 high inches by 4 inches wide. All of these measurements are approximate as each is hand made from recycled Mexican fruit crates (rejas) and occasionally, of new wood.
In the sample on the right, the artist has scored (with a nail) the angles between the concha scallops to define the image a bit better. This works easily because of the nature of the recycled wood.
SilverCrow's Wood Nicho is much the same as the traditional ones used for shrines in Mexico and the other Latin Nations of the Americas.
The wood is rough when you receive it, so you'll want to sand it a bit before working with it or you might get a splinter.
You might like to add our Wooden Nicho Embellishment Kit or SilverCrow's Shrine Kit to help you complete your project.
Sound like too much work? Then why not try our Los Mestizos Shrine Kit - with complete instructions and embellishments?

Wooden nickels
Some are old, some vintage and some pretty new - but see what you can buy with these wooden nickels! Once given to customers in lieu of coupons, these were a clever form of advertising - many people wanted to keep them as souvenirs, so the merchant rarely had to cash them in! And, if someone did us one, it could be given to yet another customer - not like today's throw-away coupons.
First issued in the 1930s, these were introduced when banks were failing as a promissory note of sorts. Most had expiration dates - some even expiration times. So, the phrase "Don't take any wooden nickels" was warning the buyer to beware of soon-to-expire change s/he might receive! Later, they were used as commemoratives for celebrations, and as coupons.
What a great idea for show-and-tell at any age!

Driftwood
There is nothing more alluring than something naturally beautiful. Though it doesn't have the sheen of mahogany or the depth of fruitwood, our driftwood claims the allure and romance of the sea.
Each of the pieces is naturally different, not only because it is real wood, but because each has had a singular journey asea.
Lovely as a simple addition to your décor, a piece of driftwood as the center of a bound book would be amazing! Sizes range from 8 to 12 inches long by about 2 inches wide and about 1/2 inch thick!

Bark Paper - 4 Assorted Sheets
This is the original paper of the Western Hemisphere! And, it is still made today just as it was over 700 years ago.
For hundreds of years, the Otomi Indians harvested the bark of naturally fallen fig and mulberry trees. They then washed it in the streams and then boil the bark in lime water. Then, the Indians beat the damp, pliable fibers and lay them out in the sun to dry.
This beautiful, primitive paper has an unsurpassed texture. You can certainly use it to make and bind books and for drawing, painting, and collage. It is especially striking when painted with opaque paints, such as gouache.
SilverCrow is offering you a set of 4 sheets, each approximately 6 inches by 8 inches. Pictured is a sample package, however, the colors in the packages vary as do the textures, as the paper is handmade.
