A lot like vultures, bats are ecosystem superheroes who need good PR and more positive representation in art and media, so I was really happy to work on this design. We are experimenting with some transparent glass-like enamel effects for the wings of these pendants, and I think they will turn out really eye-catching and unique!

When I first started in wildlife rehabilitation, I ended up working with a lot of bats, which really increased grew my fondness for them. Even though I specialize in birds and don't usually take mammals, I can't turn away a bat in need (the photos are of some of our brown bat rehab patients).

Thanks for taking the time to look. Shares greatly appreciated if you know anyone you think might enjoy!

We have been smashing through stretch goals, and have unlocked the Ground Hornbill pin (meaning all 16 pin designs are now available), & the magpie necklace! We are very close to the next stretch goal, our first earring set and then one of my absolute favorites, the turkey vulture pendant!

(Minnie, one of our ambassador vultures enjoying the morning sun. Her wing injury is one of the reasons she is non-releasable and residing with us, but she still has a beautiful wingspan!)

I am especially excited about the turkey vulture, though I admit I of course have a big vulture bias. When I was working on this design I knew I wanted to add sun symbols to the wings, to highlight their connection with the light and the sky. You may have seen vultures outside before, especially in the morning, wings outstretched to greet the sun, a position called the horaltic pose. It allows vultures to warm up and dry off, and is also thought to help sanitize their feathers with UV light. While vultures stand in worship, the morning sun creates thermals; warm, rising masses of buoyant air. The vultures use these to lift effortlessly and soar on their glorious, giant wings, off for the day to search for a meal. With this pendant, I wanted to capture the look of the light as it filters through their feathers on outspread wings; giving the turkey vulture a shifting silver or rich golden hue as they glide through the sky. I hope that these pendants, when worn, can spark lots of conversations about how wonderful vultures are!

The wolves of the Wolves of Land & Sky series! During the design process, I wanted to add stylized feather elements to each of these pins, featuring common raptors in the locales each of the wolves live; golden eagle for the gray wolf, red-tailed hawk for the red wolf, and gyrfalcon for the arctic wolf.

Happy International Vulture Day!

One of the ways we celebrate vultures here at the Foxloft is to help people connect with them through art. Being able to see vultures in a different light through media and stories can help people build compassion, something that these important birds desperately need.

Vultures represent the most imperiled family of birds in the world, with well over half of their species endangered to critically endangered. Though we think every day should be vulture day, take some time this weekend to celebrate and share your love of vultures and help bring awareness to their plight.

Take a moment to give thanks to nature's ultimate cleanup crew and share some love for vultures today, and every day!

Our Visionary Vultures project now features 16 of the 23 total vulture species - check it out! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/foxfeather/visionary-vultures-3-wolves-of-land-and-sky-enamel-pins

Old man Seven, the best crow boat. Both he and his mate Zen (who I've had since she was a baby) are in their early 20s now, time sure flies!

(Seven is an African Pied crow. There are currently 135 species of corvids - the crow/raven/jay/magipie/etc. family, and many of them sport this lovely black and white coloration.)
