Killian happens to love St. Patrick's Day! ;) He wanted to spread the green, so I've made a pair of beautiful earrings with some of his molted feathers! They are adorned with jasper, glass beads and a some dangling dragonfly charms. The earrings are on auction on eBay for the next week.

In other news, I'm making my way through the stack of orders that came through on February 1st, and it's coming along well! If you'd like to see a few works in progress and recent custom orders I've created, you can find new photos in my Facebook photo albums.

At this point, it is looking like I should be able to have February's custom orders all completed sometime in April. I will be putting the Custom Order Request Form back up on my website at the end of this month, on this page: http://www.parrotjewelry.com/orderform.html You will be able to place your custom order requests on March 31st.

On April 1st, I will be drawing just a few orders that I will fill around the end of April, and the exact number that I take will depend on how many I still have in line from February at that point.

In my search for the perfect bird for the month, I considered many green birds, and finally decided on the cute Lineolated Parakeet! This little bird is also known as the Barred Parakeet (Bolborhynchus lineola), or Catherine Parakeet.

There are four Linnies on auction for the next week: a Bracelet Charm, a Charm Pendant on cord necklace, a Full Bodied Pendant on cord necklace, and a Glass Beaded Necklace/Earring Set. In honor of St. Patrick's day, I used some beads with a Celtic knot design on this piece.

This is the first Zebra Finch charm I've ever had for sale! You can find this cute guy on auction this week on eBay.
