The Blue Heron

The blue heron was created by Heather Maertens to benefit the Blue Heron project. The heron was originally carved from a block of wax in two parts to allow the piece to be cast in combinations of metals. The blue heron is a miniature replica of the five foot tall heron statues that were created for the Blue Heron project. The Blue Heron project was a public art project to benefit St. Mary’s County Public Schools. The herons are available as a pendant or as a brooch. You choose sterling silver or 14kt gold or a combination of the two. Each heron is accented with a blue sapphire set in the eye. Fifteen percent of the proceeds from each sale are donated to the Blue Heron Project.
