We've all been there - sitting by the fireplace with our loved ones, presents wrapped up and ready to go, gingerbread cookies in hand, tree expertly decorated - but somethings missing...
An ornament painted by a musk ox!
Get your hooves on our one-of-a-kind ornaments, hand-painted - or should I say snout painted - by our musk ox here at the farm!
The musk ox paintings are set in 3" glass balls, capped with a metal lid, and tied with a ribbon.
To add whimsy to your holidays, the artist will remain a mystery until it arrives to you.
Paintings done by our musk oxen involves a canvas or paper placed inside a waterproof bag with different colors of nontoxic paint. We then put feed on top of the bag. This gives the musk oxen new textures to explore. It also provides a new smell, sound, and environment where they receive their treats. Enrichment gives animals mental and physical stimulation and gives them more opportunities to practice natural behaviors in a safe and positive way. Each musk ox interacts with their enrichment differently: some push it aside, while others paw at the new item in their world. Either way the results the same - gorgeous unique art made by gorgeous unique animals!
