Between the Northern Isles and Aberdeen a ferry crosses back and forth. On this ferry a life-sized bronze puffin has been making this journey for years. Now, it is being donated to the Scottish Wildlife Trust and is being auctioned off on E-bay to the highest bidder. All proceeds go to help the Scottish Wildlife Trust. Here is the E-bay informational page:
This high quality, limited edition of 30, life-size (27cm/11in) bronze puffin has been on a remarkable journey over the last six months.
Created by wildlife sculptor, Eddie Hallam (www.wildlifesculptures.co.uk/), the puffin (or Amber as it’s affectionately known to reflect the puffin’s conservation status) has spent the winter onboard the Northlink Ferry, MV Hrossey. Sailing between Aberdeen & the Orkney Isles, this was intended to mirror the natural habits of it’s real-life counterparts.
Originally sculpted using a wooden armature and worked up in clay & resin, the puffin’s time at sea has produced a wonderfully unusual, mottled green finish where it’s been spattered and sprayed by the sea water.
This is a fantastic opportunity to own a unique, well travelled puffin, full of character whilst helping to protect Scotland’s wildlife for the future.

In Washington State we have a master carver who carves puffins, and he teaches classes every year to teach others how to carve as well. This year (and possibly others) his class carved puffins, how cute are they?

This canvas giclee measures 12″ x 39″ A giclee is an extremely high-quality fine-art print which offers higher image resolution and exact color matching. These giclee canvases are printed on an archival museum-grade poly-cotton. Each canvas is varnished with a water based coating that enhances the color of inks and protects the giclee against moisture and abrasion.
