Description from thegreenzebra: I keep seeing hawks at close distance and have recently found 2 hawk feathers (on separate occasions) which I would consider gifts, right? - so I thought I would honor the magnificent bird with some jewelry. Maybe it's a totem animal of mine?

Kathryn R says:You have received a special gift indeed, GZ. The raptors are migrating South at this time. Hawk Ridge in Duluth, MN is a great and popular spot to watch them fly over on their migration route. I love your pick. Your Red Jasper tail fan reminds me of the Red Tailed Hawks who have built nests and call from the tall Cottonwood Trees in our back yard!

thegreenzebra says:Kathryn, I appreciate you recognizing that aspect about this pick – that’s exactly what I was going for with the red jasper – as the tail feathers of the Red Tailed Hawk. How lucky you are to have them so close!

Crystal Canary says:GZ, can’t wait to see what you’ll make from this pick! The Jasper fan is perfect to represent the tail feathers of the RTHawk. Hope you don’t mind I attached a photo for others to enjoy. Great portrayal of this majestic animal.

thegreenzebra says:CC I love the hawk photo, in fact, Thank you for it! I know I have kind of a strange array of beads, but I think they will pull together okay – I’ll post it for sure and hope for the best. I love seeing hawks…

thegreenzebra says:Chicky! You are so nice, thank you for the compliments – I always appreciate your words…
I have been making stuff and I have given some to friends, and I am just putting them aside until I have enough to sell at a holiday craft fair or something like that around the holidays. Ones I really like, I keep!
