Birdwatchers everywhere will love this beautiful box of 50 postcards featuring original bird paintings by renowned ornithologist David Sibley. This brand new vertical format offers 50 postcards of birds lovingly rendered in watercolors by David Sibley and chosen with their individual beauty and prominence in the country in mind. Housed in an elegant keepsake box with tabs dividing them by type (sea birds, birds of prey, songbirds) for ease of choice, these postcards are ideal for mailing to friends and family, framed and used as décor, or attached to presents as unique gift tags.
This is such a lovely collection of postcards! The artwork is stunning and though I wanted this set so that I could send little notes to friends and family, I’ve decided that I want to keep some of these postcards to put into frames.
Beginner birdwatchers would appreciate that the cards are divided into sections. There’s a variety of waterfowl,woodpeckers,wading birds, songbirds, owls and raptors.
This box set would make a wonderful gift for birdwatching enthusiasts, animal lovers and those who love paper crafts.
Ideas on what you could do with these postcards:
-Send them! When is the last time you sent a note to friends and family?
-Frame them. (Because they’re gorgeous!)
–Use as gift tags
-Use them as recipe cards
–Make coasters
–Display them
