Thank you Beadthrilled!! (Pic heavy)

My prize has arrived and I'm filled with gratitude. Thank you so much Sita and Mods for this spectacular prize!
I am completely in love and now have a fearybeads 'wish list' as long as my arm.

It seems I went the opposite way to Stacecase and Brightonbelle, who chose the Coiling Dark Dragon.
As I wanted a Phoenix.



Like the dragon and ky-lin, the phoenix is made up of various elements, typifying the entire cosmos; it has the head of a cock (the sun), the back of a swallow as the crescent moon, its wings are the wind, its tail represents trees and flowers, and its feet are the earth; it has five colors symbolizing the five virtues; "Its color delights the eye, its comb expresses righteousness, its tongue utters sincerity, its voice chants melody, its ear enjoys music, its heart conforms to regulations, its breast contains the treasures of literature, and its spurs are powerful against transgressors".



So here is my August Rooster, the king of the birds.   

And I shamelessly copied stacecase when I made up my bracelet    (sorry, but it's a brilliant idea)



Thank you again everyone, I am one happy Panda!
