Two new birds for the Wayne Robbins aviary!
Our Open Studio was this past weekend and here are two new birds Wayne created for his growing aviary. It was a wonderful event. The weather was great, our friend Jeff Rogers once again did a fabulous job demonstrating the glass process and we hosted a wonderful collage artist that is a first time Open Studio participant. We will be doing Open Studio again on Oct. 19-20. We would love to have you stop by for a visit and take in the energy of this very special event.

Marcia's latest Wayne bird ring
Here is the latest ring Marcia DeCoster made with one of Wayne's glass bird beads. She has designed these rings so that the bird can be interchangeable.
Marcia DeCoster and Wayne
Here is a post from Marcia DeCoster's blog: Maddesignsbeads.blogspot.com.......
I have always loved the work of Wayne Robbins and Judie Mountain's collaborations. Wayne does
wonderful creatures of glass and Judie makes finished jewelry with his glass and her own bronze clay pieces.
This year at Bead and Button I treated myself to one of Wayne's bird rings. I of course could not resist adding a bit of a seed bead nest below the bird. Since the bird screws into it's ring base it is perfect for changing the nests as the mood strikes.
Here is the first one I made.
