@OrbitOrange , your pieces are all gorgeous! I especially love the colourful earrings at the top and the pendant at lower right.
If I may contribute some more Canadian west coast First Nations birds, I can keep the thread going But please do tell me if I’m pulling us too far off-course!
There are two tiny pieces I forgot to mention upthread. First, a small eagle pendant by Gilbert Pat (1945-) of the Sto:lo: (Coast Salish) First Nation:
These wide-eyed hummingbird post earrings are by Hollie Bartlett (1963-) of the Haisla First Nation:
Lastly, a couple of earring sets by Travis Henry (1964-) of the Cowichan (Quw’utsun) First Nation – these were originally posted to another thread:
Raven earrings:
Eagle earrings:
Most of my First Nations silver jewellery involves things other than birds – sun, moon, orca, bear, sea otter, the copper. It’s odd that I don’t have a thunderbird!.. yet.
