Bow and Two Arrows Weathervane

Arrow Weather Vane - Bow with Two Arrows

We truly enjoyed creating this Bow and Two Arrows Weathervane. It was originally commissioned by a mother to celebrate her two children. The mother’s inspiration for the design was the poem On Children by Kahlil Gibran. This is how heirlooms happen! And what an effective visual this sculpture piece is, with the Swell Bodied bow in copper and the arrow tips and fletchings alight with the application of optional gold leaf gilding. She asked us to seal in each of the arrows a ‘Lucky Penny‘ from the year of each child’s birth, and that they each have their name inscribed on their arrow. We love working with you all to create such lasting memories!

On Children – Kahlil Gibran

Your children are not your children
They are the sons and daughters of life’s longing for itself
They come through you but not from you
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you

You may give them your love but not your thoughts
For they have their own thoughts
You may house their bodies but not their souls
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow

Which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams
You may strive to be like them
But seek not to make them like you
For life goes not backward, nor tarries with yesterday

You are the bows from which your children
As living arrows are sent forth
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite
And he bends you with his might

That his arrows may go swift and far
Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness
For even as he loves the arrow that flies
So he loves also the bow that is stable
