Barn Owl... Layers Upon Layers!

Papers, Inks, Paint, Paste... Repeat!

I'm pleased with his wings... 

tissue papers, photocopied images, and paints... oh my!

His personality continues to emerge...

"Dreams"... A Barn Owl!

Skin and Bones... it's a beginning!

A little "fattening up"... for the holidays!

Some Paper Clay... applied!

He's still a work-in-progess... 

but his personality is beginning to emerge!

What a Hoot!

 

Who is that masked man? Er... Owl?

A parliament of owls... 

two Saw-Whet, two Barn, one Great Horned!

Humble beginnings: Just a lot of hot-air!

(and masking tape!)

What a Hoot... Great Horned Owl!

Applied papers, paper pulp, paper clay, fabric...

He found a new home...

"Autumnal Voices..."

 

This guy was originally designed 

with a soft body in mind...

But as I worked on him...

I soon realized that he was "destined" for more...

(more than a mere body!)

He began emerging from a combination of

mulberry papers, wire and theatre gauze... in a cocoon!

Inspired by some of E. E. Cummings poetic phrases...

I just found out that this little guy will be in 

the upcoming special edition of Art Doll Quarterly!

Blessed... beyond measure...
