I have a certain routine I do every morning when I get up. You know, feed the cats, turn on the computer, fix the fire, etc, but one thing I do is to check out certain blogs/websites. Once of these blogs is
indinorth, a Canadian indi business collective run by the fabulous Beth. Well, to my surprise when I clicked on this fab website to see what Canadian Artist was featured, I saw my
little owl staring back at me! What a thrill! You can check out the post
HERE.
Mr Owl is actually the second owl that I made. The first one (pictured on the right) was made for a special trade order from a fellow Etsian. Her shop is called
VillageBoutique and she makes the most wonderful silverware jewelry from spoons!
I loved the way her owl turned so much that I decided to create another one. I used a combination of coloured wool that I brushed together to give it a special one-of-a-kind mottled look. When I finished
Mr Owl I realized that the first one was most definitely a Ms Owl! It always amazes me how using the exact same wool and techniques still leads to a unique soft sculpture. It really shows me that the wool is the one that does the talking and I'm just the listener.
