The gorgeous colors of autumn are surrounding me and providing endless inspiration, so it's no wonder that this Flights of Fancy collection features some birds in fall and earthy colors. Each bird has several tiny sculpted leaves, as well as the word "LOVE". The birds were sculpted from shades of brown clay, with metallic gold, silver and copper highlights. All five pendants are strung on brown ribbon/cord necklaces.

The species represented from left to right are: Macaw, African Grey, Lovebird or Parrotlet, Cockatiel, and the last one could be a Brotogeris or a Lorikeet/Lory - though they are all open to whatever species YOUR imagination can see!

There is also another Phantom Face in Faux Ivory necklace on sale this week on eBay. All of the pieces are being auctioned on eBay for the next five days.

On a side note, I just received an email from eBay congratulating me on my 10 year Anniversary of being a seller! Time sure flies, it doesn't seem like very long ago that I was just getting started selling my creations online!

Happy Halloween! I hope you are enjoying fall as much as I am! The trees are in full color here, and I love watching the ever changing works of living art right outside my studio windows.

The Bird of the Month necklace is a holiday themed set, and features a Lutino Cockatiel perched on a Halloween pumpkin. The necklace is strung with glass bead and handmade clay "candy corn" beads, with matching earrings! There is also a Lutino Cockatiel bracelet charm, with a glossy finish.

Like last month, I had hoped to create more pieces in the Bird of the Month species, but custom orders have kept me so busy! There are still a few openings left for VIP/Rush custom orders before the holidays though. (Keep in mind that the VIP/Rush Custom Orders are double the regular cost, but do get your order worked in ASAP, without having to wait for the chance to potentially be picked for the monthly custom order drawing.) For more information, see the following page on my website: http://parrotjewelry.com/viporderform.html

All of this month's pieces are on auction for the next 5 days on eBay, ending on Tuesday!

With Thanksgiving here, it's a wonderful reminder to reflect and focus on all that we have to be thankful for. It can be so easy to get overly busy and caught up in holiday preparations, that I sometimes catch myself taking my blessings for granted.

One of the things I am most thankful for is YOU, my amazing customers and "fans", who continue to be such a wonderful part of my life. I truly appreciate your business, your friendship, and the inspiration and joy that you bring me! Killian, Kaleena and I wish you and your flocks a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Trick or Treat! Halloween is just around the corner, and I have created a few special necklaces for you! There is a Lutino Cockatiel necklace, with a Jack O'Lantern pumpkin, and "candy corn" beads and earrings. In addition, there is a cute little Ghost necklace set, which has a starting bid under $20! There are Buy It Now options on these two necklaces.

Killian, Kaleena and I want to wish you and your loved ones a wonderful Thanksgiving. It's a perfect time of the year to take some time to reflect on the many blessings in our lives - and one of the things I am so very grateful for is your continued interest and support of my artwork through the years! Many of you have consistently been following my work, some from the very beginning 10 years ago, and have become treasured loyal customers. I can't even say how much it means to me - thank you!

One way I can show my appreciation is to offer another sale - so from now until Christmas, I am putting all current eBay Store Items on SALE - 5% off!
