All of the freezing cold and snow lately put me into the mood to make a few penguins! Here they are, the Bird of the Month for January is the adorable Chinstrap Penguin. I've never made this species of penguin before, they are really a striking looking bird, and the little "chin strap" is unique among penguins! A pin, pendant, and a glass beaded necklace and earring set are on sale on eBay.

I hope you and your feathered friends are staying warm where ever you are!

The Bird of the Month for December is the magnificent Military Macaw! The collection now available on eBay includes: a mini magnet, bracelet charm, choker necklace, pin, pendant necklace, beaded bracelet, and a glass beaded necklace and earring set. "Buy It Now" options are available on most of the new items for immediate purchase, if you don't want to wait for the auctions to end!

I also have a special Eclectus ornament available this week only! For more details and to see the complete list of items currently on auction this week, please go to my EBAY STORE.

The Bird of the Month for October may come as a surprise, since it is not a parrot! It is my first time making a member of the Corvidae family, and I decided to choose the Raven as my Bird of the Month. (Kind of fitting for Halloween, don't you think?)

Did you know that Corvids (ravens, crows, magpies and a few others) are some of the most intelligent birds, showing self awareness in mirror tests, as well as tool building ability? Pretty impressive for a bird that is so common that we often don't give them much thought.

The collection is now up for auction on EBAY for the next 6 days and includes a bracelet charm, choker, pendant, pin, and a glass beaded necklace and earring set!
