The Blue Jay is native to Northern America and has a distinct bright blue plumage interrupted by black striped markings. A fun fact about this vibrant birb is that it likes hiding nuts for later, just like squirrels! It is also known to be noisy and flies slowly, making it easy prey to predatory birbs.
Here, instead of a blue jay, I wanted to paint a pink version! A soft, fluffy painting that has been immortalised on a resin grip. Observe closely for the fine feather-strokes beneath the shimmery gold resin coat. The smooth blending of colours and layers of paint build up dimension and create a 3D effect in the piece.
The base has been lightly sprinkled with sparkling pink iridescent powder, and topped off with swarovski crystals and assorted silver embellishments on a light pink grip base.
This birb shaker design came to life from paper sketch to acrylic blank, and finally to pouring my very own molds! Inspired by birds of the world, it is also currently exclusively available only at Lunaliliputian.
Every piece of craft is meticulously handmade by Lunaliliputian, and packaged in lovely boxes that can be repurposed for keeping other trinkets.
