Yes, the two on the right are males, the whitish one is a female. The boys are India Blues, and the girl is India Blue Black Shoulder. Beautiful birds!

Thank you so much! They're very relaxing to make, so I tend to work on them in the mornings and evenings if I have an hour or so. :)

Here are a couple more I just finished, plus a goosey photobomb. :D Sadie decided she wanted to help take pictures too. 🥰

Thank you all! :) Here are a couple more I've finished up lately. I have a craft show coming up so I'm trying to bulk up my inventory. :) This first one is an odd shape, which makes it hard to photograph. The bottom is bigger around than the top. The inside: The other one is a very...

Thank you! Yes, I have my own horses, and I'm also blessed to have lots of family and friends who are willing to let me "borrow" some of their horses' tail hair. I never buy bulk horsehair online--I don't know where it came from, and don't know how it was obtained.

Thank you! 🥰

I've been posting pictures of my horsehair baskets in the handcrafted thread from time to time, but thought I'd start my own. Hopefully no one minds. :) I've been making horsehair jewelry and other keepsakes for about 15 years now, and just within the last year, ventured into making coiled...

A couple new coiled horsehair baskets. They're both about 6" in diameter, so on the larger side. :)

This is fantastic--thank you!!! :wee

Our daughter bought these beauties last fall and we're pretty sure they're porcelain! We have a couple of their babies hatching right now. They're young, so the fertility was low, but we have one really pretty baby hatched and another pipping! :wee We're hoping to hatch more a little later...

And we have a lavender/porcelain one! I'm thinking the dark one is the random cochin egg I put in. :) The last one has pipped and should be out later this evening.

Well, the first chick that's hatched is either blue or black. Hmmm. Could it be the random egg I threw in, or...? If I understand correctly, lavender is a recessive gene, so theoretically the chicks from two lavender parents have to be lavender. But does the mille fleur gene affect this in...

We have an external pip on one egg, and the others are close behind. Looking forward to seeing what comes out! I did throw one egg from another cochin into the mix, but I have no idea which one it was, or if it's even one of the ones that made it to lockdown. A wild card! LOL

We set 8 eggs in the incubator a couple of weeks ago, but it looks like only three are developing. Four weren't fertile, and one quit early. They have a week to go, so I guess we'll see what hatches! :) I'm thinking we're going to try again with another incubation after these (hopefully) hatch.

Thank you!

Beautiful birds, but our girl definitely doesn't look the same. She has some beige feathers in her wings, but most of her back is a very soft dove grey color. Whatever she is, she's gorgeous. :)

Boy, you're so right about how the same bird changes color in different lighting! Our India Blue boy looks teal, purple, blue, aqua, whatever, as the light hits him different ways. :) It really doesn't matter to me what color my birds are (not trying to sound snarky at all! ☮️), I'm just...

Interesting. I apologize for sounding dumb on the colors. We have only had an IB pair, and I just started learning about ALL the other color mutations. It seems nearly impossible to distinguish subtle differences in colors, like with opal, platinum, and ivory, to the untrained eye, especially...

Thank you! If not cameo, what color is she? IBBS?

This cameo black-shoulder pair came from a group with known white-eyed birds. Could they be white-eyed themselves, or is it too early to tell?
