MOTLEY OWL BLOG HOP CHALLENGE
(hosted by Lorelei) created by Erin Prais-Hintz
Hello Everyone,
I was fortunate to win one of the Motley Owls by Erin Prais-Hintz in the blog hop challenge hosted by Lorelei. Erin says the Motley Owls that she creates "...wink their eyes at their more somber cousins and pull pranks with a hint of a smile". I think my Motley Owl is thinking twice about that statement. Take a look at the eyes, and then at the two birds in the necklace design. Is my Motley Owl able to take on the two of them???
I created this design wanting to keep a nature theme. I used Fancy Jasper gemstone chips along with Petersite gemstone beads, and two whimsical brass birds in an asymmetrical design. It's fun and funky, perfect for a fun day out with friends. I love the Motley Owls, you cannot help but smile when you see them. I love too, that they all have their own personalities.
