Egglets by Fairies & Finds

I'll wind up the week with the supercool work of Tana H. an artist behind Fairies & Finds. She handmakes these "Egglets" using wooden eggs that are hand-painted with watercolors and acrylics to look like colorful owlets. Each egglet is designed, handpainted and signed by the artist, and sealed for a brilliant shine! Every egglet is unique and has a quirky personality.

If you have a idea about how do you want your owlet to look like then Tana will love to hear about it and make a custom egglet just for you! She has made all sorts of fun owl characters from dracula owls, to adventurer, to cowboy, to football player. You can see her custom made owls here.

Have a great weekend!

Grace Lepard: Owl Shawl and Jewelry

Gorgeous handmade jewelry and accessory designed by St Martin's graduate Grace Lepard. Her collection is inspired by birds’ plumage and flight that she first draws in a notebook after a careful observation and then transferring them onto leather using acrylic inks, creating delicate statement pieces. 

Artist shares: “Birds - they are constantly moving or flying which makes it difficult for us to fully observe and appreciate their magnificent forms. The aim of my work is to capture and preserve the movement of their powerful yet fragile structures and their plumage by drawing and illustrating them directly onto leather."
