Purple Bird House
Ashley Lemoine Morra and Sherwood Lemoine
~10" x 12", Wood
It's time to put out new birdhouses. Surely a feathered beauty will see this house as the perfect attractant for a mate. Afterall, who doesn't love purple!
Cuckoo Designs started out as a hobby
between a father and daughter that eventually blossomed into a birdhouse
business. The style reflects their shared love for folk-art and vibrant colors.
The idea of creating birdhouses began when Sherwood, Ashley’s father, retired
and was recovering from treatment after battling colon cancer. This provided
him with an outlet that allowed him to forget about his daily health struggles,
as well as pass the day.
One day, Ashley decided to paint one of the birdhouses.
She found that it too provided her with a creative outlet by helping re-kindle
her love of sketching and painting. So, they made a decision to combine their
talents and start a small business focused on designing folk-art style birdhouses.
Each birdhouse is unique and completely made by hand. The
designs are derived from events, animals and landmarks found in North Carolina
and Louisiana. They are sketched on paper and then transferred onto wood by
both Ashley and Sherwood. Another unique quality about each birdhouse is that
they each have a hand-stamped brass or copper tag featuring the name and logo
of the business.
