Animal Head Art: Amanda Lynch Smith's Songbirds


My dear friend Amanda is a talented artist and ceramicist. Her normal work can get a bit pricey, but in the last few months she has opened an etsy shop featuring some more affordable pieces, including a whole series of songbirds with lady faces. (I know that's kind of the opposite of the way we do things at AHV - we're bigger on animal heads and human bodies - but this juxtaposition is just as awesome). Plus, she uses lots of different vintage molds to make some of her little characters.

These faces just kill me:

AHV: New Look


It's a new year, and Animal Head Vintage has gotten a new look! You'll notice the handiwork of the talented Kadie of Henry James Paper Goods gracing the shop and your packages from here on out. I'm loving our new pretty masked mascots.
