Zebra Wood Frame with Black and White Mourning Dove and Brood Featuring a Black Onyx Sculpture

$275.00

Our beautiful frame is painstakingly handcrafted from zebra wood, admired for its striking striped patterns and dynamic grain, making a bold statement in any setting. Nestled within is our original black and white photograph of an adult mourning dove with two newly hatched chicks. Mourning doves mate for life, with both parents sharing in nest-building and the care of their young—this could be mama or papa!

Accompanying the photograph is a handcrafted nest made from the same materials our mourning doves use. These natural elements undergo a rigorous sterilization and preservation process before being formed, painted, and delicately bejeweled. The nest is cradled by a Black Onyx stone sculpture, whose sleek, grounding presence enhances the elegance captured in this moment.

Our frames include a copper hanging wire for wall mounting and come with an elegantly crafted frame stand for versatile display options. Every Zephyr Frame arrives in our Zephyr Keepsake Box (lovingly called the ‘Nordie Box’ by Maria, in honor of her days as a Nordstrom Personal Shopper). We offer no additional gift-wrapping options. Please visit the image gallery to see an example of our keepsake box!

At Zephyr Faith Crafts, we honor the beauty and authenticity of nature in every piece we create. Our handmade wooden frames house not only our original photography of mourning doves and their young but also meticulously crafted nests resting on semi-precious stone sculptures. These nests, made from the same natural materials used by the doves themselves, undergo a rigorous sterilization and preservation process before being hand-painted and adorned. To preserve the essence of the natural materials, you may notice small bits of delicate nest debris on the floor or plexiglass (see photo) of the frame. This is a natural occurrence, reflecting the organic quality of the materials we work with and the story they carry. Our creations are crafted with care, not by machines, but by our own hands, ensuring each frame is as unique and genuine as the doves that inspire us.

Faith Craft Frames FAQ

How are your frames made?

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.

Tell me more about the handcrafted nests

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.

What inspired the creation of Zephyr Faith Crafts?

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.
