The theme of the month challenge is jointly sponsored by Tuffnels (thank you Martin!) and Frit Happens!

Each month the lucky winner, chosen by a random number selector, will receive a £20 gift voucher to spend on-line with Tuffnels. The draw will take place on at the end of the month so make sure you get your entries (beads and jewellery) in to be in with a chance to win the goodies!

So, the theme of the month for OCTOBER 2011 is OCTOBER SONG BY THE LATE, GREAT AMY WINEHOUSE! Feel free to interpret in any way you like (some bird beads would be lovely though!!!)

October Song

Today my bird flew away
Gone to find her big blue jay
Starlight before she took flight
I sung a lullaby of bird land everynight
Sung for my Ava everynight

Ava was the morning, now she's gone
She's reborn like Sarah Vaughan
In the sanctuary she has found
Birds surround her sweet sound
And Ava flies in paradise

With dread I woke in my bed
To shooting pains up in my head
Lovebird, my beautiful bird
Spoken 'til one day she couldn't be heard
She just stopped singing

Ava was the morning, now she's gone
She's reborn like Sarah Vaughan
In the sanctuary she has found
Birds surround her sweet soun
And Ava flies in paradise

Good luck and hope to see lots of entries this month!

She's made of real glass. She got real real emotion. But my heart laughs I have that same sweet devotion!

Those birds are beautiful Ciel. I love the movement of the winged one as if its just taking flight.

I like the bird on its side.  Look forward to seeing what else ends up here.

I went for Birds of Paradise:



The blue one isn't so great, but I like the red one. Will work on these a bit more, I think.


Shirl

I love the blue one Heather :)

Here is my interpretation of the lyrics.....my bird is to interpret love departed, and a flight of my imagination!


Pandanimal

I had a go at this yesterday. I thought maybe a bit of peace. 



They not very good even after I made 10 of them. Not sure what I am going to do with 10 slightly not doves of peace! They look best side on but it is very hard to get photos side on.

I also made these



and these



Was trying for cute manga type birds. Not very like the song I'm afraid
