Well folks, it's late in the month again, but the Bird of the Month is finally finished! I've chosen the Quaker Parrot (also known as Monk Parrots or Parakeets), and I've created a HUGE assortment for you! I rarely do so many pieces, but I've received so many requests for Quakers, and it's been a while since I've offered them - so here they are!
The 16 creations on auction for the next six days include the following: a bracelet charm, cell phone/purse charm, mini magnet, choker charm, choker necklace, pin, dangle earrings, small pendant on cord, medium pendant on cord, glass beaded bracelet, and a glass beaded necklace/earring set, as well as a Christmas Ornament/Pendant, and a Lucky Clover Necklace shown below. Three Blue Quakers pieces (not shown here) are also on sale!
I'm happy to have a new computer now and am in the process of adjusting to Windows 7, learning my way around the new programs, and getting a feel for everything just in time to squeeze out the January Bird of the Month before the month ends!
This month's bird is the Citron Crested Cockatoo, and the creations on auction for the next seven days include the following: a bracelet charm, mini magnet, choker necklace, pin, pendant on cord, glass beaded bracelet, and a glass beaded necklace/earring set. I have also listed a new Greenwing Macaw choker and pendant.
WOW!! After many years of wanting to see this amazing musical, I finally got to see it yesterday! I am still in awe and am sure it will be running through my head for days and weeks to come - it is one of the most visually stunning shows of all time! Besides the incredible music and dance, the puppetry and incredible designs by genius Julie Taymor blew me away! What an inspiration!
If you ever have the chance to see this brilliant show - do it! Here is a taste of what I enjoyed:
Sorry for the poor lighting, I wasn't planning to record but we were having snuggle time before bed and he was being so sweet, luckily I had the camera handy. He talks so much, but usually clams up in front of the camera!
Happy Holidays! As you probably know, I have a male and female Eclectus that share my life. With their beautiful red and green colors, they are perfect "Christmas birds", so I always enjoy creating an assortment of Eclectus jewelry for you at this time of the year!
You can find the following items on auction for the next five days: male Eclectus charm, male Eclectus charm with cell phone leash, female SI Eclectus charm, female Vos/RS Eclectus charm, male Eclectus choker, female Eclectus choker, male Eclectus pendant, female Eclectus glass beaded bracelet, male Eclectus glass beaded bracelet, and a male Eclectus glass beaded necklace/earring set.
The Bird of the Month is another macaw this month, the very festive looking Greenwing Macaw!
Here are the Greenwing items on auction for the next five days: bracelet charm, charm with cell phone leash, choker necklace, large pin or magnet, pendant on cord, glass beaded bracelet, and a glass beaded necklace/earring set.
Please note that I have listed these with Buy It Now options! This means you can snap them up right away if no one has bid yet, without having to wait for the auction to end!
In recent years, I have started making one special OOAK (one-of-a-kind) ornament every year, featuring a male and female Eclectus. This year's Ekkies are taking over for Santa, on their way down a snow covered chimney to delivery Christmas gifts!
The piece measures about 3 inches, and has a red ribbon for hanging on your tree. It is flat on the back where it is signed and dated.
There is a Buy It Now option if you don't want to wait 5 days for the auction to end, but once a bid is placed, the Buy It Now option disappears!
I have created three unique beaded necklaces in my whimsical "Flights of Fancy" style, in shades of purple!
The birds featured are a (non-specified) parrot, a cockatiel and a Goffin's Cockatoo. Please see each auction, as there are many special details that do not show up in these preview photos!
Beautiful glass beads and amethyst stones really make these sets lovely. These would make fantastic gifts for someone who enjoys one-of-a-kind jewelry!
These necklace/earring sets are on sale on eBay for one week on auction, but please note that I have listed these with Buy It Now options! This means you can snap a set up right away if no one has bid yet, without having to wait for the auction to end!
There is also a new African Grey "Flights of Fancy" Necklace/Earring set (shown below) and matching bracelet (not pictured) in grey/silver/red/black beads available this week.
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you have a wonderful holiday with your loved ones, feathered and furry included.
I am so incredibly thankful for all of you who continue to show interest in my artwork, and the many kind customers that I am blessed to be able to work with. Thank you - you are much appreciated!
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!
I've never sculpted the Patagonian Conure before, and enjoyed the challenge of creating a new species! I've listed a charm, choker necklace (cord isn't shown in the photos), beaded bracelet and a beaded necklace/earring set for auction on eBay for the next week!
I'm using eBay Giving Works to donate 10% of the proceeds of these auctions to The Oasis Sanctuary! Is your favorite Parrot Rescue or non-profit signed up with eBay Giving Works? If so, let me know, and I might pick your favorite rescue or non-profit for some future donations! (The organization needs to be signed up with MissionFish.org to be eligible.)
