The Tundra Swan builds her nest of grasses and twigs
high on the Arctic tundra.
She is diligent.
She is heavy with hopes, two to seven hopes, to be exact.
Her nest is near open water and the view is sweeping and grand.
The snow creeps back under the slanting springtime sunshine of the North. Her breath comes in whistle song, borealis chant, woven ribbons of color winding from the licorice black of her beak.
At night, she dreams of down, the infant beeping of cygnets, the long flight to warmer weather, water plants.
She loves her husband. He loves her.
They only have eyes and wings for each other.
Pen and cob, together forever.
He’s busy patrolling the skies.
If he doesn’t come home, she might die of a broken heart.
She bears a bright torch of fidelity for him, and he for her, their wings are wide.
Tundra Swan.
A black and white moving picture.
A story of dedication, heaving wing beats, glimpses of white foxes hiding in the hummocks
and one poetic swan song drifting North to South and South to North on the trade winds.
100% handcrafted and hand built (including the swan ingot).
It’s haunted with swan souls.
In the shop tomorrow!

"Haunted with swan souls"- you are too funny! xo
Plumage-This is beautiful beyond the visual and a lovely tribute to the tundra swan! The swan ingot very special! ♥
fantastic!
ooooooooohhhhhhh.
swan swooooon.
could it be your loveliest piece ever?
and have you ever read e.b. white's "the trumpet of the swan"?
"if he does not come home, she WILL die from a broken heart"….Grand!
You know it's true.
They are monogamous!
If a swan looses its partner, it will not mate again for a few years, if at all…
They're very committed to each other.
beautiful !
j-feather: you're the most romantic poet swan in the hinterlands.

This ingot invention is really interesting!
Swans live and breed along the Danube, and in the spring glide hissing with wings raised in full battle mode towards Uumaa and Taya as they approach the shore–spectacular!
That is really an amazing piece of art. I'm impressed!
your rings are amazing

What a wonderful piece of art, as usual your creations are fantastic, I love swans so I am a little envious of this piece I must tell you.
Thanks thanks thanks for the swan love, ladies!
Kare: I'M SORRY!!! I'm not taking custom orders at the moment and I hate to tell you, but I do not reserve pieces either. It's all about serendipity, I suppose — especially since I'm no longer doing scheduled updates either!
Fear thee not! The piece that is meant for you, will find you, and you it. It happens all the time.
If you want to know about prices, zip me an email (thenoisyplume@gmail.com) and I'll give you all the quotes you need.
