I made this chicken set some time ago.  But, they are birds, and I made them, so they are my bird a week challenge for this week:

I am doing catch up with the bird a week challenge.  I  had to take a little break, but want to continue the challenge since I have come so far into the year.  So, I sat down and drew and doodled whatever came to mind.  And here are my Bird A Week  for weeks 36 through 39:

I like drawing vintage style characters, so for this week, I drew a chick with a bonnet:

While I was making beads for my BSBP partner, I was able to squeeze in this little owl.  He has crazy eyes, but is cute nonetheless. I used vintage finds and made him into a pendant:

I was at my local craft store, and to my pleasant surprise, they now carry Vintaj brass findings.  And I found this cute bird charm! I made them into earrings for this weeks challenge:

Well, this week, I decided to do a zentangle type bird drawing:

Well, the end of the week arrived sooner than I realized.  I have some ideas for more “Bird Of The Week” challenge projects, but for this week, I chose my daughter’s childhood drawing that has graced our kitchen wall these many years:

I think these are my favorite kind of art – Children’s Art!

This was a last minute creation. I couldn’t think of what to do for this weeks challenge, and then I remembered the birdie buttons in my button bin:

They are children’s buttons.  I incorporated  vintage lucite flowers and pearls, swarovski crystals, czech pressed glass, and finished them off with sterling silver.  I think they came out really cute!

We had a break in the hot weather, and I actually got a chance to get on the torch.  I made a little bluebird and a rosette bead, and made a pendant:

I have a habit of making googly eyed birds – I think they are cute!
