The Bird is the Word

An ornithologically inspired collection of jewelry posted this week. Get it while you can.

Oh, and I didnt quite have the time to finish the rest (although I DID have time enough to make an animation with them... the internet messed up my priorities.)

Birds of Thunder

+

all birds via Smithsonian Institution

all art via Ted Larsen

while looking for depictions of a Phoenix, I found a great source of thunderbird images at the Smithsonian. I love the clean lines of Native American artwork, and these minimal design elements and bold use of color work really well with the modern art of Ted Larsen, a fine artist who's work also reminds me of the Quilts of Gees Bend. 

You'll see more on what the Phoenix is for when it heals ;)
