What a resourceful and creative way to sculpt creatures out of old paper.
“Athena’s Owl”. In Greek mythology, a little Owl traditionally accompanies Athena, the virgin goddess of wisdom. This little Owl would sit on Athena’s blind side, so that she could see the whole truth. This list is for one owl. Please, let me know which one you want, the one with the wings opened or the one with the wings up. It comes with a wire like I show in the third photo. If you want it without wire, let me know. Please Allow seven to ten days. I send all my items by registered mail with tracking number.

You've probably seen Irving Harper's work even if you don't know his name. His "Ball Clock" made for the Howard Miller Clock Company is an icon of mid-century Atomic Age design; his Marshmallow Sofa, created in the 1950s/60s for Herman Miller, is a continuously popular and curious piece of furniture with its connected circular cushions. He is one of many designers whose name was buried by their branded studio, in his case George Nelson Associates where he worked from 1947 to 1963. Yet his work in another medium, paper, has been even more overlooked, largely because it's rarely been exhibited outside his home in Rye, New York.

A hand crafted paper Owl flying through a paper woodland. Hand cranked, kinetic, paper-cut sculpture. Made to be wall mounted, mirror plates are attached. The scene is encased inside a hand crafted wooden box frame with a glass front. The frame measures 28cm x 28cm , 38cm when including the handle in the measurement. All paper has been cut and sculpted by hand, the brass mechanisms have been crafted by hand. Delicate automata. When the handle is turned slowly clockwise, the Owl begins their flight through the trees Not suitable for children. The piece can be shipped worldwide, however the price will reflect the distance the piece has to travel. It needs a lot of packaging and therefore will end up being a large parcel. Keep this in mind if ordering from outside the UK. Unfortunately I am unable to ship this piece to Australia or Europe as it is just too expensive. If your location is not listed in the delivery options, please do send me a message and I'll be able to give you a delivery quote. Thanks!

Well, hello there blog world! Now that it has been nearly a year since I posted last, I figure it is high time I share a little something! I've been making things here and there but up till this point our little family has been far too busy for me to post anything! In January we found out my husband got into vet school and we spent the rest of the months since preparing for our move, visiting loved ones and settling into our new life here in Kansas. But now that it is Halloween season again, how can I resist posting more projects for my craft friends! I have always been a fan of owls, especially around Halloween time, but after my son dressed up as an owl for his costume last year, our family has been especially fond of this feathered friend! For this reason, we decided that we needed to add owls to our Halloween decor. The wonderful thing about owls is that the shape is so basic that they can be made very easily. I had such a ball making mine that I ended up making two different large sizes and then made a bunch a little fellows that I'll share later. Would you like to give it a try? Whenever sculpting something with any sort of real size or thickness, it helps to make a form first. This keep the drying time down and also allows you to not have to use as much clay as you would otherwise need. I find this step fun since you can be creative in what you use to build your form. Really almost anything will do so you just have to look for the right shapes. Honestly, nine out of ten times I use balloons to make my forms. They cheap and can easily be removed. As in most cases, I decided to use balloons for this project as well. For this project I used: 2 balloons (blown up in different sizes) -newspaper -masking tape (but any kind will do) -paper mache paste (my recipe can be found here) First off, stack the two balloons with the smaller one on top and tape in place. Then rip up your paper in strips. Different sizes of strips come in handy for the different stages of your projects. (Typically I start with large pieces to cover the balloon and then work smaller as I do more detail and need more smooth finishes). Start covering your paper in paste and smooth onto your balloons: In this case I decided that I wanted my owl a little more compact than I had originally taped the balloons so I pushed the balloons together and then used strips of paper and paste to hold them in place. Next up were the wings. I took a large strip of paper, covered it with paste: Then I rolled it loosely: I then put paste on on side of one end: and plopped it on to the side of my owl. Once I got it exactly where I wanted it, I then covered it with more strips to secure it. From there I moved on to the feathery eyebrows. I took a long strip of paper, covered it with paste and then twisted it up: After folding it to the right size, I pasted it near the top of my form. I repeated that step for the other side and then secured them in place with more strips of paper and paste: Next I did the eyes by twisting more paper and placing them in circles. Then I covered them with more paper and paste: For the beak I balled up paper with paste and then secured it in the spot I wanted: Ta dah! There you have it! Your owl form is done! Now it just needs to dry! So set it out to dry in the sun and stay tuned for the next step on Monday!
