After a hectic couple of weeks, I have enjoyed stitching some little owls for friends (Nic the nose and eyes are all done now!!!!). This week they are flitting off to their new homes...I have a couple more to make for friends that are in my thoughts this week.... what a flock ????Is their such a thing as a flock of owls? I'm not sure if that's the correct terminology. Please feel free to let me know if it's not.
A few close up photos of these little fellows.
I tried some additional little quilted wings on this one...he thinks he's a bit special.

I tried some additional little quilted wings on this one...he thinks he's a bit special.You may remember from my last post that while the girls were visiting from Western Australia we did a journal class with Ro Bruhn (decorated papers and Journal making). Lots of fun, lots of laughter and lots of wonderful techniques!!!

Unfinished cover using Ro's plaster masking technique (fun!!!). I think I will seal the cover and I still need to add my raggedy fabric binding.
Internal pages using acrylic paints and inks, Ro's handmade stamps and so many other techniques we learnt. Amazing what you can find around the house to use in your journalling.
Can you tell I loved the Klimt patterned stamp????
And the onion houses as I call them!
I am nearly finished my moleskin journal and I think I will use this journal next for my daily scribbling and thoughts.

I am a sucker for Ro's stamps..
and the owl with wings - I think it's a breakthru.
Now they all have to have them!
what delightful little characters Jacky. The recipient friends will treasure these colourful fellows for sure. Gorgeous journal too. Have a lovely Easter Jacky.
Love the owls Jacky, so cute. Your journal looks wonderful too, it was a great class and good to catch up with the girls from WA.
I've enjoyed looking at your journal pages - onion houses describes them perfectly!
and the owls are wonderful - the interweb tells me (I'm that curious as to look...yes) it's a parliament of owls...sounds so important and official!
xo,

Always inspiring :)
the owls are so cute and the wings just add to the saucy look! I envy your class with ro bruhn she is so full of wonderful things to create. wish I didnt live so far away! lyle
Jeana Marie is right - it is a parliament of owls.. isn't that wonderful? I only know because I've been doing some owls myself and someone told me! I think yours are ace, love it that each one is different! x
I agree with Denise!! The owl with wings that can fly is wonderful. I love how you ahve embellished the polka dot fabric!!! Just fabulous1 And of course your journal work is terrific too. Ro does it again with your wonderful Jacky Flair!!!!
Happy easter!
How wonderful to see what delights my gorgeous big sister has been creating. Love the wings on the owls!!
Wonderful! The Owls are adorable and love your journal pages! Well done!
How lovely! I would love to have a class with Ro... I just know that it would be fun. Look at all the pages you made! Onion houses? Funny! The owls are as sweet as can be. And the little one with different wings is really special (his turned head, sweet expression, the choice of fabric + wings = too cute). Loved this post :-)
Yes one in the flock with wings. Somebody is always different. Your journal cover is great. Did you see Lynne's page with plaster cloth on muslin. I'm doin it.
Those owls are just too cute!!! I love the little shrug the last one's giving :-)
Your journal pages are looking good Jacky....oh I would love to work with Ro. Lucky you......(I think I've said that before ;-)

Your owls are wonderful :)
Have loved your last two posts Jacky! So glad you had such a lovely time with the girls on your road trip and at the retreat. I loved catching up with them too.
Your new owls are adorable. Love the fabric you are using on them and the one with the little padded wings is very(very) special). You are very thoughtful to be making some for friends in need.
Love your journal too!
Hope you have a good week and Easter(cant wait for mine).

Adorable owls! So cheerful!
Your owls are fabulous, Jacky! You out-do yourself every batch. Sometimes a group of owls is called a stare of owls!
I love all your sweet and darling owls!!!!!!!!!!
Wishing you and your flock of guys there, a Happy Easter!
Hugs,Patti
Your little fellows are so very sweet... Very well done, Jacky!! xox
A Parliament of Owls is almost as good as my favourite collective noun - a murder of crows! Isn't that evocative of them all sitting with menance on a fence. Love the klimt stamp Jacky - it just had to find a home at your place where it could be fully appreciated.
Keep up the great work. Philippa
All gorgeous! Love the owls and your papers. I love my visits here. Have a lovely weekend xoxoxo

If they're grazing they're a flock, but they're so gorgeous you can call them anything you like..

Love your owls Jacky,specially in the 4th pic !!!!!!!!!! :D
I'm so fond of your little owls!
Haven't been here for a while due to illness and severe computer problems.
flock of owls souinds good to me whether it's correct or not. Infact if it isn't the right word I think it should be because it sounds so good!
What a gorgeous journal.... love the decorated pages! Mmmmm... I'd be using that Klimt stamp too!
... and those sweet owls.... are they made of recycled fabrics?
Sandi
