Usually, when I start drawing one type of character, I end up on something of a frenzy - creating lots of them.
My latest obsession - owls.
I didn't revisit the owls until recently, when I started doing silversmithing.
I went looking around on Etsy for ideas and found an artist named VernonBea who had several cool ones in her shop. Click here to visit VernonBea's shop.
Anyway, I found my inspiration. Hoot was my first attempt at an owl:
Next, once I got some thicker silver plate, I made these guys:
Then, at the covered bridge festival, I found this adorable water bottle carrier and tissue snuggie from ~forevermore~. Well, it's actually the fabric that's adorable:
I asked the artist, Alisha, if she could make me a purse from the same fabric, but she wasn't sure she could get anymore. So I started looking online for the fabric (with no success), but while I was searching I kept running across all these adorable stuffed owls. I started sketching some more owls:
And then I decided to make one of my own.
Meet Milo:
: )
More owls coming soon!
