Mr. BeBe the squirrel

Beautiful necklace! The squirrel reminds me of Reddy. He was the squirrel that my dad and brother tamed to take pecans in the shell from their mouth as he sat on their shoulder. He gave one the two men working on the auto repair shop behind our house. The guy was on the dolly under a car. He had earlier Fed Reddy some nutty chocolate from his pants pocket Reddy crawled up the pants leg. I have never seen a man roll out from under a cat as fast as he did.

Ha Ha Ha Pam, great story! I don’t have an affinity for squirrels but I love the Redwall stories with them and I think those names would be fun for these. This is a great piece Robin! One of the couples in our Sunday School class take in baby squirrels to take care of when they are abandoned by their parents or something happens to the parents. I love what they do with them, but I can’t forget what I was taught all of my life, they are furry tailed rats. They are cute, but….

And, I love your links of beads, too. Such a textured dream!

Unfortunately the Reddy -human venture ended while went to California over Christmas. The hoods that hung out at the gas station across the creek from our house cut an x on all four paws.

What a fun necklace!! Well put together..color and design are great! I have one squirrel story. I used to leave the front door ajar so Sidney could come and go. Apparently, one day, a squirrel decided to venture in the living room. Imagine my surprise when up from behind my gold chair popped a little squirrel head. I also like your photography on this Robin.

First, about your necklace. Like all your pieces it is full of great and varied colors, interesting shapes and sizes and stones that all go so well together. So much for the eye to see. Now, about squirrels. I love them so much. They are so happy and hyperactive. I just started feeding them, as well as a variety of birds, and there are a lot of them coming around. 2021 may just have been the worst year of my life and somehow these guys are lifting my spirits. They are eating all my animal crackers and the peanuts are seeds I bought them so fast. This little hobby is gonna cost me some bucks. So here’s one of my guys going for the cookies.

Oh, and Pam, that story is hysterical.

I’m really enjoying your animal themed work. Squirrels are so fascinating to watch. They seem to have so much fun flying thru the treetops from branch to branch. Your necklace is fun to view also. So many colors and textures to admire. Beautiful!

Beautiful Robin. I love your squirrel and the beads go with it beautifully. Such a lovely necklace.
I used to live in the city and there were many squirrels in the back yard. They all looked a little different. I used to feed them nuts. They all had names – Brownnose and Munchy.. etc. So much fun. One even took the nuts from my hand. They used to take the nuts and hide them in the yard. The crows would watch them and get the nuts after they left.
About the crows – They would gather in the trees in the late fall, early winter. It was a grand social event. But the city doesn’t like them pooping on the grand hall so they hire people to come and shoot them each year. Such a waste. The grounds are clean after the first rain, And crows take 4 years before they can reproduce. It makes me so sad.

This is one special necklace! Every element combines so well with the others. I especially like the subtle blue hues from the Calcite cubes picking up the blue in the focal. The Picture Jasper has me seeing this little guy scurrying and playing in & out of the bushes & trees. And to top it off, the acorn & pine cone elements complete the picture. Your recent themed necklaces are definitely fun, playful, and imaginative that pack a lot of appeal in my book! As for squirrel stories, I don’t have any; but as for lizards…well, lots of those.
