Cardinal crafts will make the perfect gift for those missing someone who has passed away, but still living in their hearts. We want to be a ray of light and a beam of hope to those who are grieving and remind them that their loved ones will always be with them in spiri.



It’s believed that “Cardinals appear when angels are near” when you see one, it's a visitor from heaven, a kind of healing jewelry for those left behind, offering Condolences or Passion when he/she is grieving or is in search of Love One.



🐦Cardinal symbolizes the spiritual messenger of our lost loved ones. Perfect gift for those who have passed away but are still living in their hearts.
I always loved the sentiment that cardinals appear when angels are near. While carving this, I made some mistakes by snapping the bark that frames the carving. At first, I planned on glueing it but I couldn't help thinking that the broken frame serves as a more important sentiment that without death, there cannot be life. The dead branch provides a place for moss and lichen to grow and makes room for new growth on the tree. In a time where too many are experiencing death and loss, I hope that all can find hope and see the light from the ones they love.


This cardinal was hand carved and painted in a thin slab of basswood. At 7” tall, 8 ½” wide, and ¾” thick, this little cardinal will look terrific hanging on the wall.
