The first thing that sprang to mind when I saw this month’s Art Bead Scene inspiration painting was “Birdies!” (in the voice of my 3 year old).

Birds On Riser, 1944 by Adolf Dietrich
Oil on wood, 57.5 x 50 cm
I made some faux ceramic bird beads using polymer clay. I gave them all different colourings as in the painting. My initial idea was to have a row of birds making a bracelet like a paper doll chain, but some of the cheeky birdies turned inside out. Instead I put them on a white felt backing to create a cuff with a sprinkling of beads and sequins to represent the icy snow.
I made some extra beads, so this little birdy needs a home. Leave a comment below if you’d like to adopt him (he assures me he can even manage an international flight). If you share this giveaway on facebook/twitter etc let me know and I’ll put your name in the hat again for extra chances to win. 🙂
I’ll let you know the winner on Monday 7th April 2014.

These birds sure sing! I love them. Great job!
The birds are very sweet, and the bracelet is beautiful!
I would surely love to give that wee pre-loved-bird a home…
Beautiful and very original design, Cate 🙂
