FOLK ART

PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH DOVE HEX DESIGN
Mennonite Barn Dove Folk Art Prints

An important part in the culture and traditions of the German settlers that created their new home in America and Canada in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries were the folk art style designs referred to as hex signs. The Pennsylvania Dutch decorated their farmhouses inside and out with these hand-painted geometric designs, painting them on many household items, above doorways and on their barns. The elements that make up the designs all had special meanings from the individual colors and patterns to the birds or "Distelfinks", hearts, leaves and stars. It was their belief that these designs would bring blessings and good fortune to the home and family in the form of good luck, fertility, love, happiness, good health and many other desirable wishes.

WATERLOO HERITAGE TIME TELLER GAZEBO
Hex Symbol Meaning

In the 1980's, my dad, Otto Werner (1923 - 1991) was commissioned to design and paint a series of 24 panels to be mounted as part of the Waterloo Heritage TIME TELLER GAZEBO (following image) that illustrated some of the Pennsylvania Dutch Hex designs featured on many of the old Mennonite barns in the region. Each of these unique hex designs was incorporated into the gazebo design directly under the eaves. He also painted a different mural in each of the four dormers of the gazebo rooftop.

This double Distelfink hex is a symbol of love and devotion. The two Distelfinks (birds) represent love, happiness and harmony in marriage. The tulips symbolize faith and hope. The white daisies symbolize purity and innocence. The leaves are a sign of fruitfulness and plenty. This is #10 of the 24 Mennonite barn folk art hex designs of the TIME TELLER GAZEBO which is now being offered as reproduction canvas, acrylic and art prints - an excellent addition to your country or contemporary kitchen decor! Hang the collection of folk art in your deli, cafe or restaurant for warm cozy atmosphere!

Waterloo Heritage Time Teller Gazebo Art Prints

I took the above photo of this gazebo in the summer of 2014. This prominent iconic octagonal gazebo in downtown Waterloo, Ontario called the TIME TELLER was built in the 1980's as a proud reminder of the rich heritage of Waterloo region in Ontario. The glass-enclosed core of the gazebo holds a display of brewery items and beer steins that represent the annual Oktoberfest held here. It also houses a clock which originally was to be powered by the steam produced by nearby Carlings Brewery and/or Seagrams Distillery which was founded in Waterloo in 1857 by Joseph E. Seagram. After changing ownership many times over the years, in 1997, the Seagram Museum, formerly the original Seagram distillery in Waterloo, was forced to close due to lack of funds. The two original barrel houses on the site are now the unique Seagram Lofts condominiums. Sadly, due to lack of funds after the brewery closed, the steam clock was never completed.
