Today we want to show you cute steampunk sculptures. In 1991 artist Jim Mullan got collection of old original decoys and they were a studio decoration for many years. In 2006 birds from this collection became the basis of new collection “Songbirds” containing small and big fun steampunk birds. “Each bird is hand made in our Florida studio using old carvings as our models. The unusual relics we use such as croquet balls, binoculars and old toys give each inspiring bird their own personality. These sculptures give life to the once forgotten pieces of yesterday.” At the moment Jim Mullan and his wife Tori produce these steampunk sculptures under the brand Mullanium. Have fun!

OMG, I’ve been trying to locate the artist of the one I have. So sorry to hear that Jim passed. I did read that his wife, Tori, retired. Is there no one to carry on their work?
Hi Janis,
This is Tori with Mullanium. I will be making birds again in the near future. After taking some time off, I’m exited to create again.
Tori
Very excited to hear you will be creating these magnificent birds again. My wife and I own four and I’ve been searching for the painting bunting for years. Any chance you will be making one again in the future?
Where can I buy one of these and what are the prices?
I am very interested in purchasing a song bird. More information is needed as to: Size, Choices available,
Charges, turn-around-time, etc.
Sincerely, DP
i’m the happy owner of one of these.
sits right next to my antique dictionaries.
Why only birds…?
There is also a rabbit. There was one for sale on Ebay last year for $1k. Sadly, Jim Mullan passed. His wife was still making birds until last year.
