Custom Beaded Rooster Jewelry

Check out my latest custom order - a beaded rooster brooch! :)

This one is called a Moa (Hawaiian for chicken) and he lives on the island of Kauai. I created him by stitching tiny Japanese seize 15 seed beads to a felt foundation. I used more than 10 different colors, including blue 1 x 4mm micro bugle beads. I also layered beaded fringe for his feathers to create realism. This piece is a pin which can also be worn as a pendant.

6.5cm x 5cm

Something tells me this won't be the last beaded chicken pin I create..

What do you think? :D
