Mystic Spirit -- "Moon Shadows" by Vivi Crandall -- First in the series. The Bradford Exchange -- Certificate -- Production date 1994 -- Plate size approx 8 inches -- Suggested Reatail $60.00
Along a ridge just west of artist Vivi Crandall's home in Casper, Wyoming, not far from where the North Platte River crashes down from the mountains, a timber wolf slips silently through the freezing cold February night. The bright moonlight and crystalline skies made it easy to see, but this powerful creature prefers it when the night is black. Pitch black.
Although timber wolves were once very common in these rolling foothills, that was a long time ago. Long before man cordoned off pastures and fields. Long before he built houses, towns and roads. But now this leader of a small pack of five cautiously explores the territories that once belonged to his ancestors hundreds of years before.
Ms. Crandall is certain that these wolves would prefer the solitude of the higher elevations. But the winter's deep snow had evidently encouraged them further south than they had ever been before. Ms. Crandall is excited to know the wolves were in the area, but she is happier still to know that man now has a new respect for these stoic creatures. Creatures who wanted nothing more than to be left alone. To be free ... in the wild.
The creation of the fine collector's plate you have just acquired and whose authenticity is certified by this document is the result of work by an international cadre of skilled artisans. After the plate art was created in the United States, a fine ceramic transfer, incorporating pigments carefully chosen to faithfully re-create the vibrant beauty of the artist's original, was created in France and Germany and permanently fired into the fine Japanese porcelain plate body at more than 1,460° Fahrenheit by talented craftsmen and craftswomen in the United States.
