Living proof that not all things have gone the way of the Dodo... this little guy is a modern day Dodo bird. He even comes with a young hip attitude and a punk rock featherdo. Still some things never change even after 300 years.... the Dodo is still.... well.. a dodo. He still hasn't figured out what how to use his wings to fly. And he doesn't even realize that he has outgrown his shell by days and needs someone to tell him to leave the shell and get on with his silly life!
Note: The Dodo Bird may be displayed separate or with his eggshell counterparts. Simply string or wire them together to have a hatchling Dodo bird.

Modern Day Dodo Bird sculptural focal bead is ready to incorporate into your favorite whimsical jewelry design(s) or figurine collections. You can hang from your favorite place, rear view mirror, ceiling fan, garden window, or as a wind chime ornament, book marker, plant stake or decoration. Or sit bird separate from eggshell beads as a fun display in your computer area, curio case, shadow box, window sill, or in one of a zillion other creative ideas! This unique sweet collecible will make a special seasonal, birthday or anyday gift to your favorite whimsical bird loving friend, sweetheart, customer, co-worker, or family member.
Although many ideas for designs are initiated through media, stories, suggestions, or experiences in everyday life, actual planning and creation of designs are from my own perceptions or even yes, "dreams" in the Dreams In The Sand Lampwork studio. Unless otherwise specified, all my lampwork beads are handcrafted out of compatible varieties of COE 104 soda-lime glass (Effetre (Moretti), Vetrofond, Lauscha, ASK, CIM, Double Helix, TAG, and whatever else I can get my hot little hands on!). I use a torch to melt the glass and various tools to shape and sculpt. Each unique one-of-a-kind focal animal bead has been artist signed by me with my logo/signature mark. All beads are properly annealed in a digitally controlled kiln for highest quality durability so you can enjoy them for many years.

1 Modern Day Dodo Bird Sculptural Focal Bead ~ approx 1 1/4" tall (1 5/8" strung together with egg shells)
