Retro 51 Tornado Smithsonian Special Edition Hummingbird & Flowers - Rollerball

WOODLAND HUMMINGBIRD AND FLOWERS by Dr. Shirley Brauker, a lifelong artist. She began working with drawing and painting, then moved into clay and bronze work. She uses personal experiences and her Little River Band of Ottawa culture to draw from, and then carves stories into pots. Her *carved cut-out* approach, inspired by a dream, has become her trademark. She strives to combine the artwork and legends of the past with contemporary materials of the present, keeping story-telling traditions alive. Her Moon Bear Pottery is dedicated to the preservation of Woodland art and inspired the Retro 51 Tornado Woodland Hummingbird and Flowers. This Tornado has her design acid-etched onto the barrel and then plated in stonewashed copper with accents to match. The Smithsonian top ring is engraved with its individual number and then completed with the sun logo on the finial. Each rollerball is packaged in a commemorative tube that will store the pen when it is not in use.
