tui on flax garden stake | corten | 90cm

A tui resting on a flax blade, cut as one piece and pushed straight into the garden. Slim enough to sit between plantings, tall enough to read from across the lawn. Tui are unique to New Zealand. Noisy, bold and rarely far from a flax flower, which is exactly where this one has landed. Cut from New Zealand corten steel and hand finished in Auckland. Corten is a weathering steel, so it is meant to rust. The rust forms a protective skin on the outside while the steel underneath stays strong, and the piece only looks better as it ages. Size: 90cm x 12.5cm. Approximately 10cm goes into the ground, so it stands around 80cm tall. Material: New Zealand corten weathering steel Suitable for: Outdoors, in a garden bed or a large pot Installation: Push straight into the ground. No fixings required. Pair it with the kereru on flax garden stake, or browse the rest of Lisa's NZ garden art. Designed and hand finished in Auckland by LisaSarah, making steel art in New Zealand since 2007.
