My name is Amy and I live with my family, dogs and chickens in beautiful Colorado. My store name -- Avian Designs -- comes from a combination of my children's names and the word avian also means "relating to birds."
My shop is all about up-cycling -- using materials from an old item to make something completely new!
I enjoy creating up-cycled jewelry from leather and suede clothing that I find in thrift shops, as well as from vintage tins (like cookie or candy tins).
I love art and creating and enjoy putting together unique pieces.
If you have an idea for some jewelry, but don't see what you'd like in my shop, please contact me. I'd be happy to talk with you about creating a custom piece just for you!
Let's keep in touch!

Care instructions
LEATHER: To keep your leather earrings looking their best, please do not wear them in the shower or while swimming.
FEATHERS: The feathers are natural and somewhat fragile, so please use care when handling them to keep them looking their best. Treat them gently and please do NOT wear them in the shower or while swimming.
If they become ruffled, simply smooth them out between your fingers.
Gift wrapping and packaging
All earrings are carefully wrapped in brown kraft paper, tied with yarn and sent either in a padded envelope or small cardboard box. Please consider reusing or recycling your box and packing materials. Thank you!
Wholesale availability
Many of my earrings are available for wholesale orders. Please contact me for details.
Custom and personalized orders
I accept custom orders. If you have an idea in mind, please contact me and we can see if it is a possibility. Also, if you see a pair of leather earrings that you like, but would prefer them in a different color, let me know. Chances are that I can do that. I look forward to working with you to create something amazing! Thank you.
