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!

It's been quite a few years since I have made any Lory or Lorikeet species, and I was needing some new photos for my website, so I picked the Rainbow/Green Naped Lorikeet as the Bird of the Month! In addition, I created a few other Lories that I've never made before! It is incredible how very many lorikeet species and subspecies there are, all of which are so beautiful, I had a hard time picking just a few!

The jewelry on auction for the next THREE DAYS include the following: Rainbow bracelet charm, Rainbow choker necklace, Rainbow glass beaded bracelet, Rainbow pendant, and a Rainbow glass beaded necklace/earring set! There is also a Scaly-breasted Lorikeet glass beaded necklace/earring set, and a pair of Chattering Lory charm dangle earrings!

Besides the Lorikeets, there are also some other new pieces, including the Green and Yellow Christmas Budgie shown below, a blue Budgie not shown, and several new humorous "bird poop" items!

I am offering a Buy It Now option this time for those of you wanting to purchase items quickly for gift giving! Please note however, that once an item receives a bid, the Buy It Now option disappears. (So, to make an instant purchase without waiting for the auction to end, you must snap up the item before it has bids.) Go to my eBay Store to see all of the creations available!

Don't forget, there is a sale on my inventory of eBay Store items until Christmas! There is still time to snap up some unique gifts for your bird loving friends!

I've being receiving so many custom order queries every day, so I thought I would give you all an update as to how my current line-up of work is going. At this point, I still have approximately 7 months more of custom order requests from last year yet to fill. I am working my way through and drawing from the stack of requests that have been waiting, and creating as many as I can each month.

Once all of the outstanding waiting requests are filled, I will be taking a bit of time off to do some website updates, and at that time will determine when I will be open for new custom orders in the future. Whenever I have openings again, and can accept additional custom orders, I will post the news through my newsletter, Facebook, and this blog!

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!

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.
