Beautiful Hand Beaded Birds

I’m so excited!!  I had a new artisan contact me about her hand beaded birds.  I told her I’d love to see pictures of them.  She sent pictures via email to me and although they were a little blurry I fell in love with them and just had to have them for the store!!  Well, the birds appeared in person, along with their maker, Joanne Raymond, and the birds are even more gorgeous in person!!!   Here are some pictures!! Enjoy

These would be equally beautiful whether hanging in a window or as a Christmas tree decoration.  Each 3D bird is hand beaded by Joanne using a multitude of seed beads, bugle beads, pearl beads etc. and takes a minimum of 5 hours per bird.

The hummingbirds (Designed by Dragon) measure approximately 4.1/2″ high by 2 1/2″ wide.  The others are approximately 4 3/4″ high by 2 1/4″ wide.

Jo was laughing when she told me that these birds have been “cat tested”.  She came home one day to find one of her birds on the floor after having been mauled by at least one of her 6 cats and the bird had survived without injury.  The bead thread she uses has a very high tensile strength that the cats couldn’t chew through.  If by some chance the hanging thread is cut (I don’t know why you’d want to do that, but if you do) the worst that will happen is you would lose the top 3 or 4 beads that are at the tips of the wings.  The rest of the bird will stay firmly together.

Jo is planning on extending this line of beadwork to include flowers and butterflys… I can’t wait to see the results!!

I think I’ve picked out one or two that are going home with me, but I’ll resist the rest so that I have something to sell.
