     People get a chuckle from our Maine weather sticks, but they really work.  Ours is a 12" - 16" wooden rod ready for mounting and packaged with directions.  The folks who make them won't say what type of wood they use, it is considered a production secret, but the idea has been around a long time.  Users report that as well as being predictors of inclement weather, they are great conversation starters.

The following pieces are all the original batik fabric placed on white matting with a black frame. They each measure 7 ½ x 5 ½ inches and are signed by the artist.

 

#1.  A lone tree is silhouetted in shades of blue and aqua with a dramatic, misty white sun in the background. The blending of colors and softness of the batik makes it a relaxing scene.
Price $25.00

#2  Shades of orange and soft reds set off the outline of winter trees. The bright colors remind one of the beauty of early morning with the rising sun or setting moon in the sky.
Price $25.00

#3  Memories of the beach are rekindled with this gentle interpretation of the simple sea shell. The green tones speak of the calm ocean and summer skies.
Price $25.00
