The owls have descended onto
McBride House in all shapes, colours and functions. This little one is a staple at McBride House and has had a few sisters created in her likeness. So far we have had Owlene, Owlese, and this little one is
Owlette. She's a pretty little owl. She spent hours getting her bow on just right,
asking me time and time again to adjust it just so. Standing in front
of the mirror primping and preening she finally decided that the bow is
perfect and it's time for her portrait. She stands and looks up at the
light knowing this is her best side. Click, click, click goes the
camera all the while her little tail feathers quiver with excitement.
Next is
Darby McBride who is a St Patrick Day Owl. He's quite the dapper fellow who is a very quiet owl that just loves
to sit and watch the goings on. He requires very little maintenance and
would make a fantastic house owl.
In the same bred of owls, comes these two. Another
St. Patrick Day Owl but with a little rider! And guess what? They did it, they did it! They found the pot of gold at the end of the
rainbow!
Mr. Leprechaun proudly hugs his treasure knowing he is safe
and secure riding on the back of his pet owl. What the two of them will
do with all of this gold I do not know but I'm sure with the influence
of a wise owl, they won't spend it frivolously.
Next is the
Book Owl. Did you know that back in the deep recesses of the London
Library lives a whole family of owls? This particular owl is named
Darby and he and his siblings fly about at night putting all those books
away that the librarians cannot reach. They twist and turn about the
tight corridors all the while looking for the perfect matched hole for
their books. Once they find the correct spot the mice take over and
slide the book into it's own spot... but that, my dear friends, is
another tale.
It's an exciting day for
Mr Owlistare and his son, Hoot. They've waited
and practiced all year and today is the day. They gather their
belongings and Mrs Owlistare, or better known as Luna, lovingly wraps a
scarf around each of their necks and gives them a peck on the cheek as
she bids them farewell. You can read a lot more about these two and their grand adventure
HERE.
Owlivia is a pretty little owlet that dreams of becoming a ballerina but
knows with her centre of gravity being what it is, tap is more up to
her skill level.
To see these owls and other creations come on over to my shop,
McBride House!
