Williraye

If you are trying to look for that perfect gift for someone close to your heart, you can find this gift at Williraye Studios.  What is Williraye?  Williraye is a maker of one of a kind and unique home and garden décor, figurines, ornaments, giftwares, functionals, plaques, picture frames, toys, furnitures (namely benches), and a whole lot more. 

Williraye’s main manufacturer is Coynes and Co. and the artists responsible for many their new and wonderful creations are the husband and wife tandem of Jeff and Bobbe Punzel- Schuknecht.  Their creations are inspired by their folk art, rural and farmstead style way of life.  The way they make each piece is by first designing it through drawing which is done by Bobbe, then Jeff translates her work by making them three dimensional with wood as his material, then finished by Bobbe by giving it color and vibrance. 

Perhaps the most distinctive look and trademark of Williraye is the triangular or pyramid shaped bodies on their creations, especially if the piece or figurine depicts or portrays human-like shapes and features. 

Williraye and Bobbe and Jeff, emphasize on making all sorts of home décor products for all occasions, season and holidays.  Each season, each holiday, each occasion are always just around the corner, and each and every one of us always have something to celebrate for, especially if it involves our family and loved ones. 

Thanksgiving – Williraye’s Thanksgiving Collection is categorized in figurines and plates.  Designed with, none other than Thanksgiving themes and symbols such as Turkey, Pilgrims and Indians, this collection celebrates the very special occasion of two cultures and ethnicity came and feasted together even though they know nothing despite their communication barrier and cultural differences.

Christmas – this is by far the most numerous collections of figurines and ornaments from Williraye compared to its other line up of collections.  From Christmas tree toppers like angels and Santa Clause to the recognizable Nativity set, this holiday collection has all what you need to celebrate Christmas with your family.

Americana is known as cultural artifacts of the United States based on its culture, folklore and history.  Whenever you see an object, sports, show, and hear music that all have a brand of America, they are considered Americana.  Most of Williraye’s creations have distinctive brands of Americana, one in particular is the painting of the stars and stripes to each Williraye piece especially with the Animals Americana Collection which almost becomes as an insignia.  Other Williraye Americana figurines and objects signify their Americana look not by the US flag decorated on them, but how they are dressed and their depicted appearance.

Williraye has brought household décor making by uniquely shaped and uniquely painted sculptures with a touch of the American countryside, traditional and contemporary designs.

All of these products I found on the Internet but the largest selection by far was at Cherry Lane Collection.com.
