The Moon has been the subject of many works of art and literature and the inspiration for countless others. It is a motif in the visual arts, the performing arts, poetry, prose and music. Our Moon & Stars weathervane features the Man in the Moon, complete with your choice of colored translucent glass eyes, two stars in close proximity to the moon as well as a shooting star (or comet). Depending on your preference, the two stars in close association with the moon can either be attached by dangles, which allows them to move independently of the moon or they can be permanently affixed via a small copper post. If the stars are put on dangles, they will sway gently in a breeze but may clank against the moon when the winds are stronger.

In the small size Moon Weathervane with Stars, we offer two different styles for the stars in close proximity to the moon. The single sheet version (see below) is included in the price of the weathervane. The multifaceted version (see above), which is more time consuming to make and technically challenging to construct in the small size, is an optional upgrade. The stars are always faceted in the larger sizes. Because the star at the head of the Shooting Star (comet) is larger, it comes as a faceted star in the small size. ' We also offer optional gold leafing on this weathervane. In some cases, out customers prefer a golden moon, other customers prefer gilded stars. I’ve enclosed several examples here that show variations we have done over the years. The gold leafing works particularly well with this weathervane when combined with a couple of nightlights trained on the weathervane. The light reflecting off the golden moon and/or stars looks really lovely against the night sky.
One other fun thing about the weathervane involves the tradition of the “Lucky” pennies. We follow the old weathervane tradition of putting pennies from years special to our customers (for example, birthdays, anniversaries, birth years of family members, etc.) inside their weathervanes as part of this good luck tradition. In the case of the Moon & Stars weathervane, we will often put the pennies inside one of the stars so that you can further increase the good luck emanating from the weathervane by wishing on the star as well. The thumbnail to the right above shows variations on some of our lunar themed weathervane designs Custom copper weathervanes are part of our larger series of mythological weathervane designs that also feature Dragon weathervanes, Mermaid weathervanes and over 50 other mythological weathervane designs. Please visit our Mythological Weathervane page to learn more about our other Mythological weather vane designs. The second thumbnail, above right top, shows some optional gold leafing. On this vane we gold leafed the moon, the three stars and the inner sections of the comet's tail.

CUSTOMER PHOTO #1: (Above, left) This Moon and Stars weathervane was made for a couple in Los Angeles. they had just completed a landscaping remodel which incorporated a new river rock stairway. We made their Moon vane with optional gold leafed stars and the streaks in the comet's tail. They selected light topaz translucent glass jewels for the Man in the Moon's eyes.
