Happy #PortfolioDay!! 👋🐱🦊
We're Meerkat and (Maned) Wolf, and we make beaded sculptures big and small of our favorite fantasy characters and animals!

Our ko-fi shop is open and we'll be adding new sculptures soon... ko-fi.com/meerwolfrend...
For all other social links: meerwolfrenders.carrd.co

A sculpture of an eastern phoebe bird with a smaller dragonfly sculpture in front of it (it can be put in its mouth). Made mostly out of brown and white beads for the bird, all held together by wires. The bird's feet are epoxied to a natural wood stick.

A sculpture of SkekTek, the Scientist inspired by The Dark Crystal. Made mostly out of beige and grey beads with hints of many other colors, all held together by wires. Posed facing the viewer holding a staff made mostly out of black beads.

A small sculpture of a toy manchester terrier, inspired by my dog, Tanner. Made mostly out of black and orange beads, all held together by wires.

A sculpture of Oki (in wolf form) inspired by Okami. Made mostly out of purple and pinkish/reddish beads, all held together by wires. Posed in a battle-ready crouching position with his sword Kutone on his back (but you can only see the hilt from this angle).

I've been so busy that I spaced talking about these, but with another #nokings #protest coming up... I'm adding distress flag beaded pins to my shop and will be offering them in two styles. I only have one listed atm but also have a few in the other style, and I accept commissions as well 🙂! Link ⬇️

The front of a square-stitch beaded pin. The design is a distress flag, which is the US flag upside down.

The back of a square-stitch beaded pin. The design is a distress flag, which is the US flag flipped upside down. You can see the bar pin has been sewn on and reinforced in multiple places.

It wasn't "just a phase", mom!

Black and red are my favourite colours, so of course I had to make myself a cute goth dragon.

Waiting for these pretty fluid art ornaments to cure so I can seal them with gloss spray and send them to their new home in Louisiana ☺️🙌!

Would you decorate with these 👀? An inquiring artist wants to know 😜!
(Reposts 110% appreciated 🤗!)

🎃Halloween👻 isn't as big of a thing in my country (which is kind of a pity cause I love me some Halloween decor), but I still enjoy making trinkets for Halloween.

#Art #Beading #Beadwork #Crafts #Crystal #Crystals #Dragon #Halloween #WIP #WorkInProgress

A beaded dragon figurine in progress. Only the head and the neck have been completed so far. The dragon's main colour is black, with bright orange eyes, horns, spines on the back and undersides.

He's so shiny! The updated cockatiel model worked out great. 🥰

What's on the bead board at the moment you ask? More hot air balloon earrings for the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta lol 🙌! I really do enjoy making these 🥰.

A beading board filled with some of my current projects: hot air balloon earrings in different styles and designs along with their matching loose delica beads. There is also a random blue and white star that was a tester for Dallas Coyboys earrings. It's just chilling though because the sale fell through. *sad noises*

I long for the day they disappear off to wherever and give us all a break from the idiocy and/or malice

He's going to be so cute 😊

Picture or a small figurine of a cockatiel parakeet made with beads. The figurine is not done yet, but the cockatiel's main body is grey with white wing edges and a bright yellow mask with orange "cheek" spots.

Wolf's eastern phoebe is nearly done!! The tail is mainly what's left to finish, which is a signature feature of the bird
#birdart #wipart

Posing a sculpture of an eastern phoebe bird on top of a hand; beads of many shapes and shades of brown make up the back and head, while many beige to white beads make up the belly.

Same sculpture shown from a different angle.

Aww. My tiel is an introvert just like me 😅 He'll enjoy hanging out with you but more in the sense of everyone doing their own thing whilst hanging out.

Selenicera @selenicera.bsky.social · 19d

Thank you! Just the one 'tiel for me. I've been considering rescuing a friend for him, but at this point, I think the chicken thinks he's a human 🤔 Your birds are adorable!

Picture of a male pet cockatiel. It's a grey parakeet with a yellow mask and orange "cheek" spots.

Have been struggling with a lack of motivation lately, but I'm glad I pushed myself to make this little parrotlet, 'cause the end result is quite cute.

Still in love with this sparkly dragon. I just wish his wings weren't so heavy.

Between pairs of balloon earrings, I've also been working on my latest obsession: herringbone half tila bracelets!

I really wish tilas were made in more colors because I could really go wild with color combos lol 😜🙌.

A herringbone half-tila beaded bracelet in matte black and red. It is accented with iridescent transparent red seed beads.
