gift certificates for haikubird.etsy.com





haiku bird is offering two types of gift certificates for the shop at haikubird.etsy.com. The first is for a specifically-priced artwork ($15 Artwork, $20 Artwork and ACEO/ATC): the one who purchases the gift certificate pays for the art and the shipping (available in the U.S. and Canada only) in the total price of the gift certificate, so the recipient can redeem the certificate and not have to pay any extra money for shipping. Since the recipient pays zero out of their own pocket, this makes a really great gift.

there are also standard gift certificates in flat amounts: $10, $15, $20, $25, and $50.

japanese clouds: miniature painting no. 004







This is an original, handmade work, and one of a kind. The painting is crafted of archival and acid free materials: pen & ink on 200 gsm Moleskine watercolor paper. The painting is finished with a protective acrylic matte varnish. It is affixed to the frame with ph-neutral solvent-free PVA. The frame is 2-7/8" tall by 2-3/8" wide. The painting is 2-3/8" tall by 1-7/8" wide.
The frame is metal, with raised floral decoration, finished in gold, and considered 1/12th scale.

You don't need a dollhouse to display one of these paintings: it stands lovely on its own, perhaps on a miniature easel purchased from your local frame or art supply shop . . .
