For November, the Bird of the Month is the Senegal Parrot! The jewelry on auction for the next week include the following: bracelet charm, choker necklace, Fall Leaves pendant on cord, glass beaded bracelet, and a glass beaded necklace/earring set!

Also this week there are a Green Cheeked Conure, Fischer's Lovebird, "Mystery" Bird pendant from scrap clay, and a Red and White Koi Fish Pin. Additionally , there are four new Congo African Grey items (not pictured here) on auction this week, including a pendant without cord, pendant on cord, glass beaded bracelet and glass beaded necklace & earring set!

Can it really be that time of the year already? It doesn't seem possible, but the air is getting crisp, leaves are turning, and the holidays are just around the corner! Killian, Kaleena and I hope that you and your feathered friends have a fun Halloween!

Talking about Halloween, I have created three special one-of-a-kind pieces to celebrate this month's holiday: a Sun Conure Pumpkin Pin (or Magnet), Congo Grey Pumpkin Necklace and Timneh Grey Witch necklace! You can check them out on eBay this week on auction.

Earlier this year I was introduced to the magnificent Red-Tailed Black Cockatoos of Australia by one of my wonderful ornithologist customers! I had never seen photos of them before, or even heard of them before for that matter, since they are very rare here in the US. I was itching to sculpt something new that I've never created before, so I chose the male of this species for the October Bird of the Month!

The male Red-Tailed Black Cockatoos on auction for the next week include the following: bracelet charm, choker necklace, pendant on cord, and a glass beaded necklace/earring set!

Sun Conures always make me think of summer, so I have chosen them as the Bird of the Month for August!

The vibrant conures on auction for the next week include the following: bracelet charm, cell phone charm, choker necklace, choker necklace with "Follow Your Heart" charm, pendant without cord, pendant on black cord, pin or magnet, glass beaded bracelet, and a glass beaded necklace/earring set!

For those of you patiently waiting for a chance to place a custom order, I have good news!

I am making great progress working through the current line up of orders, and because several large orders fell through, things are going faster than anticipated!

I am still planning to put the order form for custom orders up around January 2011, but depending on how long the remaining orders and website updates take, it could be sooner! Stay tuned for more news in the next few months.

The Summer Sale in my eBay Store ends on the 31st, so be sure to stop by take a look at the remaining inventory before then!

The Bird of the Month is the beautiful Blue Throated Macaw!

I haven't had any macaws on sale for a while, so I've listed a charm, choker necklace, glass beaded bracelet and a glass beaded necklace/earring set for auction on eBay and end on Friday!

I have also created three unique pendant necklaces featuring some "abstract parrots", made using many bits of "scrap clay", all rolled together to form some unusual and eye catching designs!

I typically wait until I have quite a clump of many bits of leftover clay from custom orders, and then squeeze it all together in different ways. It's always a fun surprise to see how each one turns out, and certainly makes each piece one-of-a-kind!

The birds could represent a variety of parrot species based on the body shapes, it's just up to your imagination! These pendants are on sale on eBay until Friday.

In addition, there there is a new assortment of bird poop jewelry available! I find that whenever I need a break from sculpting custom orders, making some "poop jewelry" is a fun change. ;) Apparently, I'm not the only one around with a slightly bizarre sense of humor, since I can't seem to keep these crazy creations in stock! You've asked for more, so here they are! This collection of pins, pendant, charm, choker and magnet are now on sale until Friday on my eBay Auctions. As I did last month, I'm using eBay Giving Works to donate at least 10% of the proceeds of all of this week's auctions to The Oasis Sanctuary! It's a perfect time to think about holiday gifts, and this is a great way to give back to bird rescue at the same time!
