Ruby-Throated Hummingbird Wings - Leather Pendantby *windfalcon

Artisan Crafts / Leatherwork / Accessories

Someone on my Facebook page suggested I try making a pair of hummingbird wings for my next pendant. I was excited to do something iridescent! These wings are a little smaller than my regular wings, at 3.25" each wing instead of 3.5".

It is hand-carved from 7 oz. leather, and unlike my other pendants, doesn't have an extra leather layer on top, so it's all one piece of leather. It has a sterling silver chain and clasp, and is available in my Etsy shop: [link]

This is awesome, as well as your gorgeous paintings

I really like your gallery.

These came out great. Thinking of doing any other hummingbirds? I wonder if there's a way to subtly incorporate the male's gorget colors into the design.

I may do more! Someone suggested using ruby red beads

This is my favorite set of wings you have done so far.

I think it may be mine, too!

Have you thought about hanging a pendant like this between the wings? [link] I think the contrast between the very alive wings and the skull could be nice.

Ooh that would definitely be neat!

I really love this, and the hummingbird looks great as one of your leather pendants! I could tell right away it was a hummingbird.
Since it's a ruby-throated hummingbird, I think it would also look nice with ruby-colored beads where the brown beads are. =]
