Jewelry for sale! These unique pieces are inspired by the nature that surrounds me, wherever I may be. E-mail me at "beadedbirdaz AT gmail DOT com" if you have an interest in any set. Currently I don't maintain a separate website or online shop, but follow me on Instagram (I'm beaded_bird_designs) or favorite this page to visit again, as I add new creations regularly.
My pieces are priced moderately, as I sell direct and want to support my hobby. I've blogged about how I obtain materials at the Tucson Gem Show here. I also have several items for sale at the Tucson Botanical Gardens gift shop and White Mountain Nature Center gift shop.
