Birds of America Wall Hanging

fondulac

Create a one-of-a-kind wall hanging using prints of paintings from a 1975 publication of John J. Audubon’s Birds of America. Audubon’s paintings have an old-fashioned, gothic quality. Add the vintage aspect of the prints from the 50-year-old book, and you’ll have a novel decoration piece. Participants will be entered into a drawing for a wall hanging made from Audubon’s bald eagle painting from the book. Must be present to win.
