Owl Cookie with a Pumpkin Cutter

Remember these owl cookies made with a tulip shaped cutter? I have found another great tutorial by Maryann that teaches you how to make owl cookies using a simple pumpkin cutter. What a neat idea! I can't get enough of the detailed icing work for the feathered body. The tip to add a twinkle in the eyes is a genius! 

Thank you all for your love and support the past week. I'll see you back on Monday with more fun posts till then you can join me on Facebook for updates in the owl-land.

Second Skins: Dressed Animals Photographed by Miguel Vallina

Madrid based photographer Miguel Vallina worked on the series titled Segundas Pieles (Second Skins) where over 50 animals are digitally dressed in stylish clothes that seem to fit their personalities like a second skin. 

"But as you look closer you realize it’s quite a bit more than that. Aside from the solid retouching, lighting and overall execution, Vallinas took this anthropomorphic project a bit further and imagined what the fully-realized wardrobe of each animal might look like if it were wearing human clothes."

I find the images creepy cool as the body is of an animal and rest of the picture looks like as if they should be human. However, the concept of the project is amazing where each animal is dressed, posed and photographed to make each portrait a bit more human than animal.
