I took a trip to Australia this month - well, in my imagination anyways. ;) One of my favorite Australian cockatoos is the Galah, or Rose Breasted Cockatoo. Their puffy crests, and pretty pink and grey colors always catch my eye! It's been a while since I've offered some on eBay, and I've been receiving a lot of requests, so I chose this species for May's Bird of the Month!

On auction are a bracelet charm, charm choker, pendant, and beaded necklace/earring set. All of the cockatoos are on auction for the next 5 days on eBay, ending on Thursday!

While on my "virtual trip" to Australia, I had a cuddle with a Koala Bear! ;) They are such huggable looking creatures, aren't they? I've never sculpted one before, but decided to give it a try!

This beaded Koala necklace/earring set is currently on auction on eBay for the next 5 days, ending on Thursday, however there is a Buy It Now option on this one, so it could be snapped up!

Happy Spring everyone! After several months without a newsletter or Bird of the Month, it is SO great to be back! Some health issues and a back injury put me out of commission for some time, thus the lack of news lately! I'm healing up though, and am thrilled to be getting back to work.

I thought the Pacific Parrotlet would be a nice choice for April's Bird of the Month, with all of their pretty pastel colors! On auction are an American Yellow Male beaded necklace and earring set, a Blue Male pendant on cord, and two charms: one Blue Male and one Green Male. All of the parrotlets are on auction for the next 5 days on eBay, ending on Saturday!

This cute Green Quaker charm is also currently being auctioned on eBay, ending on Saturday!

Happy New Year! I hope that 2012 has started out brightly for you!

I originally had another species in mind for January, but through an interesting twist, the Bird of the Month seemed determined to be a Canary instead! They were a fun change to create, and I am hoping that there are a few canary lovers among you out there!

There are a beaded necklace and earring set, a small pendant on cord, and a bracelet charm all on auction for one week on eBay!

In addition, a new Flights of Fancy styled Cockatoo necklace is currently on auction on eBay for the following week. There are also a new "bird poop" magnet (shown below) and pin on auction for the next 7 days!

This month, instead of just one species, the Bird of the Month is an assortment of birds, in a unique style! I experimented with a polymer clay that has the look of stone, and the pieces have the look of carved granite, in muted colors, with coordinating beads in earthy tones.

There are six "stone bird" necklaces up for auction,, which include four glass beaded necklace/earring sets featuring a Conure, African Grey, Macaw and Cockatiel. There are two necklaces on cord (without beads) featuring a Goffin's Cockatoo and Amazon.

The low starting bids are a whopping 50% off the regular price of beaded necklaces on my website, so here is your chance to snag a GREAT deal!

Please note that ALL of this month's auctions are only going for FIVE DAYS, instead of the typical week. The auctions end on Friday, the day after Thanksgiving.

There are two other necklaces on auction, including this Yellow Naped Amazon necklace and a "Flights of Fancy" parrot necklace. The bird could be a lory, lorikeet, quaker parrot, grey cheeked parakeet, or other brotogeris, but the species is really up to your imagination!
