These new creations were made using rubber stamps impressed in black clay, then highlighted with metallic pigment powders for color, and embellished with beads. They have a unique and eye catching look that is hard to capture in photos!

I've made these as magnets, which can be easily altered to also use as ornaments if you prefer. Some of the larger ones also look fantastic in my magnetic display frames as well, as wall or table art.

The birds represented resemble a Blue and Gold Macaw, Male Eclectus, Blue Headed Pionus, White Bellied Caique, Black Headed Caique, a sculpted Lovebird on a cage, and a Senegal. Tthese pieces are on eBay until Thursday. (Any unsold pieces will then be listed in my Joy Magnet Art Etsy Shop.)

New on auction are an assortment of jewelry including some gorgeous earrings with feathers donated by my female Eclectus! There is also an African Grey necklace with removable charm, a "bird poop" necklace, and another colorful "scrap clay" bird necklace. ALL of this month's auctions are only going for FIVE DAYS, and end on Thursday.

The plan for December was to have both male and female Eclectus for the Bird of the Month, but the rush of Christmas orders cut me short on time, so it's just the males! Watch for females in February!

In this collection, there is a male Eclectus bracelet charm, necklace charm, charm on a cord necklace, beaded bracelet, and a beaded necklace and earring set. The auctions are up until Thursday night on ebay.

What a surprise, I am still giggling over this! My "Bird Poop Jewelry" was chosen to be featured in a slideshow on the Fox Small Business website, with the topic of Bizarre Business Ideas.

To celebrate, I've made a new batch of "bird poop jewelry", and have put them for sale on eBay this week! Buy It Now options are available on each piece, so you don't have to wait until the auctions are over to snap one up. There is a bracelet charm (not shown), a pin, a pendant, a pendant on cord and a magnet. The auctions end next Saturday, take a look and have a laugh! :)

Also, I had some colorful scrap clay this month, so I've whipped up a few pretty pendants! Each one-of-a-kind bird has a glossy finish. The first bird is a smaller parrot with a charm that says "Laugh", and the second is a macaw type of parrot, with the species up to your imagination, holding a charm that says "Follow your dreams"! Both necklaces have a Buy It Now option, and are on auction until next Saturday, unless the Buy It Now option is used!

Since I have so little inventory left, I will be closing my eBay Store within the next few days. I will be using my Etsy shop to stock new inventory in the future: http://www.aliciascreations.etsy.com

The remaining inventory of jewelry from my eBay Store is currently being auctioned off at low starting bid prices (with Buy It Now options) ending on July 27th, so pop over and take a look!

Please note that although I am closing my eBay Store (for non-auction items) I will continue to list pieces on auction on eBay once in a while. You can always find my listings by searching for my eBay seller name (parrotjewelry) or looking at the bottom of this page: http://myworld.ebay.com/parrotjewelry/

Besides parrot jewelry, I have a few other things listed on eBay this week!

Did you know that I used to sculpt humans before parrot jewelry took over? :) Here is one of my pieces, which I originally sculpted in clay, and then had cast in resin. I hand painted the features, and each one is unique in the limited edition.

This striking Phantom of the Opera face is on auction on eBay, and will be made into the winning bidder's choice of a pin or a decorative magnet!

In case you missed them the first time around, I've re-listed these gorgeous green jasper and feather earrings, with dragonfly charms, on auction until July 27! Killian donated the feathers, and these earrings have a very eye-catching look!
