Hello All!
TheNightjar offers affordable, high quality handmade needle felt soft sculptures and clay ornaments. Here you will find only original and limited edition artwork made with love and care by hand.
Every unique needle felted and polymer clay art creation ships directly from my art studio in Northern California USA, directly to you...
My intent is to create heart felt artwork that is unique and personal. All items are made with love, care and attention to detail, by myself, Tarra Lyons.
I ship every day during holidays, sometimes twice a day or more. Orders are checked throughout the day.
Currently, USPS shipping delays can at times be a problem, of which I have no control. Order early if possible, and thank you for having patience in your heart.
I opened The Nightjar in 2008 as a way to make artwork that I could share and also for customers to collect my artwork in a more affordable way.
Soon after opening The Nightjar, we welcomed boy/girl twins, and life became hectic! Instead of keeping The Nightjar open, I reopened when my children grew up a bit…what I thought would be a temporary closure, became ten years!
I hope my needle felt bird and animal creations and polymer clay artwork I offer brings as much happiness, joy and connection as I had when I created them.
This body of artwork is my humble effort to ground our souls and calm our hearts and connect with the earth and our interconnected lives.
In hope for a renewed vision for our planet - we are all connected.
With gratitude,
Tarra
PS I will be taking part in an artists residency at Jen Tough Studios in Santa Fe New Mexico from May 25th-June 3. If you are in the area, there will be an open studio at the culmination weekend of the residency. I will be showing my artwork and meeting art lovers during that time. Please, please stop by if you live in the area or are visiting Santa Fe and say Hello! For more information, message me for details...Cheers!

5 out of 5 starsSuper cute and high quality. This was listed as a dealer's choice and I included a note about what color schemes I was interested in and Tara reached out with photos of options that fit what I was looking for. Everything shipped promptly. The packaging is lovely as well.

5 out of 5 starsDon't think I can properly express how enthralled I am with this beautiful owl, "Peck by name. I wonder over the level of creative genius some folks possess and to the artist who created Peck, I tip my hat most humbly! This is one of the best purchases I've ever made. Can't find the words to explain it, but Peck answers a certain desire to hold a bit of nature inside our home and since we lost our beloved cat, well, the little shine in Peck's eyes reminds me of our JoJo. I certainly am grateful I found this shop at Christmastime. I can't enthuse enough and if you are on the fence about purchasing, well, I say JUMP! because you are going to be just as thrilled with the level of craftsmanship and care put into the creation of a very enchanting creature that you'll love and admire for decades! Thank You NightJar!

Dear Lonny I am sincerely choked up by your thoughtful review of Peck, in fact, took me a couple of days to respond. How do I thank you for your review? You expressed such warmth and kindness … I’m a bit speechless. I am touched deeply by your words, and grateful Peck’s eyes can give you comfort from JoJos loss❤️ All the very best to you in this bright new year.

Frequently asked questions
Gift wrapping and packaging
I would be happy to add any kind of gift wrapping for your purchase for a small fee. Let me know specific details about special messages or wrapping you would like to include, and consider it done.
Care instructions
Needle felted art works are made from wool, so when cleaning know that these items would shrink if soaked with water, please do not use water if you would like to maintain the look of your sculpture. When cleaning, use a very soft brush to gently clean away debris, also, any brush with hard bristles may change the shape of your sculpture.
Wholesale availability
Please message me if requesting a large quantity ... happy to work with bulk orders
Custom and personalized orders
I love to assist customers with personalizing or customizing their purchases. An added note, card or painted on message to a special person is not a problem at all. Reach out to let me know exactly the personalized message-glad to do it!.
Care instructions
Clay creations are made from polymer clay, much more durable than ceramic clay, tends to survive the occasional drop, but please do take care when handling. Ornaments are sprinkled with REAL glass glitter. From time to time a small edge may be slightly as with anything that may have points, please do not have children play with them.
