I found Sharon McSwiney while I was perusing for puffin things. She made a beautiful oxidized silver puffin necklace pendant and a glazed ornament of sorts that is by far one of the cutest puffin trinkets I have ever seen. See for yourself…

You can see more of Sharon McSwiney’s work on her website by clicking here. I know for certain she made puffin earrings and mentioned she wants to make puffin cuff-links as well.
Alison Catchlove of the UK has created some absolutely amazing metal sculptures of puffins. The one above is titled, “Puffin 3 fish”. She also has “Puffin 1 fish” and “Pair of Puffins” (See below). You can see and/or buy her work at her website. She even has greeting cards and postcards with the puffin sculptures!

Thank you Alison for making such creative art and for choosing puffins as your subject not once, not twice but three times!
INTERESTING FACT
It was onced believed that a Puffin was a fish as well as a bird. People thought it was born from rotting piece of wood floating in the sea, instead of hatching out from an egg as we know it does today.
