Haven't updated in a week or so because I have been busy and things are just going to get busier! The pirate owl is finished and his name is Jacopo :) Thanks Mike Sakas! One of my lil nugget owls will be residing in Bangkok soon! 

Jacopo is already at the store, Safron in Manitou Springs if anyone wants to go and visit him. He is being sold for $250.00. If you buy one from me directly they are $150. I am happy they are being displayed in such a lovely store.

Also, I , along with the talented Valeri Kimbro, will be Safron's featured artists next month. They will be having their Friday art walk on October the 19th. I will have about 10 owls displayed there.

Here are couple of photos of the owl I am currently working on:

I'll post some photos of the Aviator Owl I'm working on as well soon.

Until next time...

My new Pirate Owl is almost done. He now has his wire legs put in and he has a foot sculpted and a wooden peg leg. He just needs some pants now and a name. I am holding a contest for whomever comes up with the best name. The winner of the best name will get an online coupon for $5 off a lil' nugget owl on my etsy.com shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/creepypretty 

(Normally $25). I will make the lil' nugget owl fit your personality and favorite colors too! 

Here are some more progress photos of the pirate owl.

He now has buttons on his jacket and a lovely red colored head scarf.

That's his stuffing hanging out. His foot isn't painted yet either. My Pops helped me make the wooden peg leg.

This photo shows scale. He is a little bit taller than your average wine bottle.  I drink only the best. (hah, yeah right)

Even though Thorvald is a gentleman and an Owl of high stature, he is humble enough to be friends with all, even a Pirate. 

 This is the type of owl I will custom make for you if you win the coupon for $5 off the lil' nugget owl. (Made to order and will not be the exact one shown in photo. Size is 3 and a half inches tall.)

Until next time...

Started on a new owl last night. He just needs a few detail pieces added and some sea legs....

He doesn't have a name yet. I am open to suggestions (:

Until next time...

Here he is...

Thorvald now has his legs and some pants. He just needs a few finishing details and then he is done!

. All of my owls are completely hand sewn. No machines. Thorvald's eyes, feet and nose are all made out of Sculpy and then painted and varnished.

Here are some more owl bodies cut out and ready to be sewn together. Five more to go...

I'll keep updating with more progress photos. 

Until next time.
