Dark Zebra Wood Frame with Mourning Dove Brood and Tiger Eye Stone Sculpture

Each frame involves over 125 precise manufacturing steps and is crafted entirely by William and Maria. We start by selecting high-quality wood, which is planed, cut, and assembled with precision. Protective Plexiglass is added, and the frames are adorned with our original bird photographs, semi-precious stones, and handcrafted nests made from naturally foraged plant materials.

Mourning doves are at the heart of Zephyr Faith Crafts. Their symbolism of love, peace, and serenity resonates deeply with us. The doves’ presence in our lives inspired us to capture their beauty through photography and to incorporate elements reminiscent of their natural habitat into our art.

Due to the intricate crafting process involving over 125 steps, each frame takes several days to complete. This time allows for the careful creation and drying of the custom nests, precise assembly, and comprehensive quality checks to ensure you receive a piece that embodies our dedication and artistry.

Our nests are made from the same natural materials used by mourning doves, which we forage in their natural habitat. The plant materials are trimmed, groomed, dehydrated, and then shaped into nests using molds. Each nest is sanitized and adorned with base colors and glitter paints, then sealed with a clear finish for durability. The nests symbolize our commitment to replicating the natural world in every detail.

Our journey began with a profound appreciation for mourning doves that frequented our desert home. The peaceful presence of these birds and the moments of serenity they brought led William to photograph them, capturing their grace and beauty. Maria, who experiences the world from her wheelchair, found joy and participation in this shared passion through William’s lens. Together, we transformed this love for nature and each other into handcrafted art.

At Zephyr Faith Crafts, we promise to bring the same level of dedication, artistry, and love to each piece we create. When you choose our art, you’re not just acquiring a product; you’re embracing a love story and a connection to nature that we hope brings joy and serenity to your space.

Zephyr Faith Crafts is a heartfelt project by William and Maria, a couple inspired by the beauty of mourning doves and the wonders of nature. We create handcrafted art display frames featuring original bird photography, semi-precious stones, and custom-made nests, all crafted with love and meticulous attention to detail.

Every frame is a labor of love, reflecting the personal touch and devotion of its creators. The combination of original bird photography, handcrafted nests, and semi-precious stones results in a one-of-a-kind piece. Our frames are not just art; they are vessels of nature’s gift and a testament to a love story that binds us.

William and Maria are the founders and artisans behind Zephyr Faith Crafts. Residing in the serene landscapes of Joshua Tree, California, their deep connection with mourning doves and nature inspired them to create unique art pieces that capture the essence of love, tranquility, and natural beauty.
