Vintage Donald (?) Duck Charm

More Ducks
Donald Trump may think he's The Donald, but we disagree. It only makes sense that the famous duck is the original The Donald.
Although this cute little charm has no markings that indicate it is a true Donald Duck charm, we suspect that it is. Or, at least on of his relatives.
The charm base is golden metal that appears to be brass, but we can't be sure. The painting has all been hand done.
These charms hail from the mid-20th century.

Vintage Embossed Die Cut Chromolithograph Scraps - Animal Wannabes
More Scraps, Dresdens & Die Cuts
From the mid-20th century, super cute scraps feature animals in professions and activities normally reserved for their human friends. There are bears, birds, monkeys and more bowling, juggling, delivering the mail and playing the banjo. Artists, musicians and waiters and more, offer their more humorous side for inclusion in your artworks. We're not sure whether we wannabe the animals or if they wannabe human.
As with many of the scraps and die cuts made in the 20th century, these are children in adult situations. The advent of space exploration in the 1950s and 1960s, led to many products such as these. Rather than intricately die cut motifs, these are nicely expressed vignettes that are die cut into shapes - probably meant for découpage. We're particularly attracted to the colors in this production - there is a special tone that makes the scraps seem older than they even really are!
The scrap relief sheet is approximately 9 inches by 7 inches, ready for you to clip and use in your artwork. And each sheet is lightly embossed to accent. The shapes make these perfect for accenting boxes, pencil cups or other such items.

Bird Cut & Use Stencils
More Stencils & Stencil Art
More Birds (Especially Crows!)
Bird designs are among the most popular and widely used designs by artists and craftsmen. Ed Sibbett, Jr., well-known artist and craftsman, has created this elegant and practical collection of decorative birds: eagles, parrots, toucans, ducks, geese, swans and numerous common songbirds, most of which are perched on attractive foliage or branches. Although not identified specifically, we are pretty sure that there is a corbus (crow, raven or blackbird) in this collection. Stylistically, the 54 designs range from quite naturalistic to highly stylized, some with a distinct Asian flavor are also to be found here.
Printed on one side of a page on heavy manila paper, these stencils can be used again and again to decorate clothing, trays, walls, floors, furniture, leather, tin and almost any other surface. Complete instructions and a list of the necessary materials and tools are given in the introduction. The materials needed are inexpensive and easy to find in most well-stocked hardware, discount and art-supply stores, while the stenciling method is easily mastered and projects quickly completed.
There are 54 stencil designs printed on durable paper on one side of a page only, so they are easily cut out. This 64-page soft cover book is meant to be cut apart. It measures 8-1/4 by 11 inches.

Note Card - Perfect for Teenagers
More Birthdays
So, I never heard this quote. But, others here at SilverCrow did! They liked it, but not as much as I did. You see, I've not had my own kids, so I only remember being the teenager who needed such advice:
ARE YOU TIRED OF BEING HARASSED BY YOUR STUPID PARENTS? ACT NOW. MOVE OUT, GET A JOB, AND PAY YOUR OWN BILLS - WHILE YOU STILL KNOW EVERYTHING.
-John Hinde
Artist Simon Drew of the UK has also illustrated the back of the card as well - and we ALL love this quote:
'There are three ways to get something done; do it yourself, hire someone, or forbid your kids to do it.' Mona Crane
The inside is blank for your own provocative message. Each card is packaged with a brightly tinted envelope that matches.

Audubon Bird Call
This original classic red finish Audubon Bird Call consists of a birchwood roller and a zinc plug. With reasonable care, and periodic re-application of rosin from the included capsule, the call will last a lifetime. By twisting this simple device, you can easily imitate the songs of many wild songbirds.
Roger Eddy and his family and friends assembled the Audubon Bird Call by hand in his living room. He created the call after seeing similar devices used in northern Italy. For over 50 years, the Audubon Bird Call has been crafted by hand in New England and is now considered the standard bird call throughout the world. Roger died in 2003, and his grandchildren proudly continue this family business.
Please consider the birds when using this call: don't use it excessively near nests and when birds are resting.
