One of the benefits of being laid up ill for so long a few months ago was that I had a lot of "couch time", in which I browsed through a LOT of great books. One in particular that inspired me featured historical jewelry, so it's no surprise that some of my newest pieces have a bit of that "flavor"!

Galah lovers will need to check out the Rose Breasted Cockatoo necklace! There is also a beautiful beaded necklace and earring set featuring another Waterhouse painting that I love.

The three other new necklaces do not feature images, but instead are sculpted around glass stones, some with Swarovski crystals embedded. The necklaces are all being auctioned on eBay for five days, ending on Wednesday, May 22st.

The plan for March's Bird of the Month was to be the Male Eclectus, in their brilliant green, in honor of St. Patrick's Day! Due to ongoing health issues however, I wasn't able to get the pieces listed for you last month, but here they are now - better late than never, right? :) In addition, to celebrate Spring this month, there is a Congo African Grey with a white and pink flower, strung on a beaded necklace!

The new pieces for sale this month include all of the jewelry shown above: a Congo Grey charm choker, the Spring Flower Congo Grey beaded necklace, a male Eclectus charm choker, and two full bodied male Eclectus pendants (only one shown here). All of this month's pieces have a BUY IT NOW option, so act fast if you see something that you want! The pieces are being auctioned on eBay for five days, ending on Wednesday, May 1st.

The Moluccan Cockatoo is an "old favorite", and it's been a few years since they were featured, so here they are!

The creations on auction for the next six days include the following: bracelet charm, charm with leash, choker necklace, pin, pendant on cord, glass beaded bracelet, and a glass beaded necklace/earring set!

I also created a "Uniquely Preened" Moluccan Cockatoo pin, (not shown here) because our "plucky duckies" are loved too!

These one-of-a-kind creations are on sale this week on eBay and could make perfect Mother's Day gifts - or a gift for yourself!

Grey Cheeked Parakeet "I LOVE YOU" Necklace

Well, it's springtime at last here in the midwest! I wanted to do something bright and cheery, so have chosen a lovely yellow bird for this month's Bird of the Month, the Lutino Indian Ringneck Parakeet!

The creations on auction for the next six days include the following, (one each in both a male AND female version): bracelet charm, choker necklace, pendant on cord, glass beaded bracelet, and a glass beaded necklace/earring set!

Only the male Ringnecks are shown in the picture here, so please see my auctions to view the Lutino females too! There is one Blue Male Ringneck charm also on sale this week.

With Easter just around the corner, I have two special pieces for you just in time! There is an adorable blue Budgie Easter Basket Pin, and a Male Lutino Indian Ringneck Easter Basket Necklace, both on auction this week on eBay.

Here is another one of my "scrap clay parrots", made from bits of leftover clay and formed into a uniquely colored bird! This one is a pendant on a cord, with some glass beads embedded on the bird.

To celebrate the arrival of Spring, from now until the 31st, I'm having a Spring Sale in my eBay Store! All "Buy it Now" items are 5% off, stop by and have a look!
