Happy Halloween! I hope you are enjoying fall as much as I am! The trees are in full color here, and I love watching the ever changing works of living art right outside my studio windows.

The Bird of the Month necklace is a holiday themed set, and features a Lutino Cockatiel perched on a Halloween pumpkin. The necklace is strung with glass bead and handmade clay "candy corn" beads, with matching earrings! There is also a Lutino Cockatiel bracelet charm, with a glossy finish.

Like last month, I had hoped to create more pieces in the Bird of the Month species, but custom orders have kept me so busy! There are still a few openings left for VIP/Rush custom orders before the holidays though. (Keep in mind that the VIP/Rush Custom Orders are double the regular cost, but do get your order worked in ASAP, without having to wait for the chance to potentially be picked for the monthly custom order drawing.) For more information, see the following page on my website: http://parrotjewelry.com/viporderform.html

All of this month's pieces are on auction for the next 5 days on eBay, ending on Tuesday!

There is a new "Serendipity" pendant on eBay (shown on the far right), in shades of green with streaks of yellow and orange. This one reminds me of a Gold Capped Conure, what do you think?

Back in July, I listed a "Kawaii Style" Green Budgie, and had so many requests for another one! So, I listened, and am happy to be offering another one this month!

There is also a new Flights of Fancy necklace available. This one features a small pendant, in purple and silver, with the word "LOVE".

All auctions run for the next 5 days on eBay.

A few months ago I was experimenting with silver leafing on black polymer clay, inspired by a lovely glass pendant that my mom had seen in a store. The results turned out quite striking, so besides making my mom a few pieces for her birthday, I created some pendants for you too! There are two parrot pendants, one modeled after an African Grey, and the other is up to your imagination. There are also three unique heart pendants, two on cord and one little one that is unstrung, which can be worn on your own thin chain.

Each piece is made from black clay (and a few other colors on the African Grey) with silver leafing embedded in the clay. Layers of gloss seal the silver pieces, and give the pendants a glass-like shine, which of course made them difficult to photograph! They really are prettier in person than I could capture on camera.

All of the pieces are being auctioned on eBay for the next five days.

Hope this finds you all well, and enjoying the end of summer!

I was very tight on time this last month, so only was able to make one bird for September's Bird of the Month, which is the White Capped Pionus! I had hoped to create a few more pieces, but this species is one of the more time consuming birds to create, with many different colors, so in the end I only was able to make one.

This beaded necklace/earring set is on auction for the next 5 days on eBay, ending on Thursday! In addition, there are a few other necklaces on eBay this week. One is a new "Serendipity" pendant on eBay, this time in a pretty mix of maroon, red, white and blue, with ribbon cord necklace. There is also a cute Umbrella Cockatoo necklace. All of this month's auctions are on eBay for the next 5 days on eBay.

This month I have a necklace, earring and bracelet set that is very different than any others I've made before! I sculpted a bird (the species is up to your imagination!) with matching oval beads, from black clay and coated with antique copper and silver metallic pigments. The disc beads were then linked together with copper toned wires. The bird is adorned with some glass beads and a small clay charm that says LOVE. Matching earrings and a bracelet are included.

This set is so striking in person, and while the beads might look like metal, the clay is very lightweight, so it is easy to wear. If someone doesn't snap this set up, I'm thinking of keeping it for myself! :)

There are also two "Flights of Fancy" pendants on eBay this week, which resemble Blue and Green Quakers, but they could be other birds, it's up to your imagination! All of this month's creations are on auction for the next 5 days on eBay, ending on Thursday the 13th!
