  Hi, Joe,

  The story behind this carving:  It was purchased as a gift for the purchaser's mom.  Mom has a collection of wood spirits, but none of them are female.  She had seen one years ago that she liked and has regretted not getting it ever since.  Mom has had a rough spell, first losing her husband to cancer 3 years ago and recently being herself diagnosed with very early stages of breast.  Her prognosis is "excellent", and her attitude very positive, her daughter wanted her to have something with special meaning this Christmas.  Mom loves to watch the birds, particularly swallows.  I was asked to include a swallow and a nest with 2 eggs representing the daughter and her sister.  I included my signature oak leaf for several reasons.  It is a symbol of strength, which seemed appropriate,  but also tends to have something of a masculine connotation.  I thought it would, in a way. complete mom's family.
  So...there you have it :)

    I hope you don't mind me asking, but what was the theme or occasion this was carved for?
