So. Many. OWLS.

Ok SO... I love owls, always have. Especially back home during the winter months at my parents winter cabin in the northern woods. There would always be little Boreal owls hanging out in the trees around the cabin, and they are ADORABLE. Just look! LOOK! LOOK AT IT!! ARGH! :-D


This photo is by Jean Chateauvert, a fellow Quebeccer, and a great bird photographer! (Check him out to see the wide variety of bird species we get back home. AMAZING.)

Anyhoo, last week I got back into painting rocks again. My hubby and I had decided to set up a table at the local flea market here so I decided to make some Owl fattie magnets to sell. I had made a few owl magnets this summer when I was home and thought they looked awfully cute. Also if any of you read my rock painting blog, I painted a bunch of owl rocks amongst other animals. So I decided to paint a bunch more as well. I painted one yesterday, showed it to my best bud who immediately wanted it. Good grief. :-P

Anyhoo, here are a few of the owl fattie magnets AND the Owl rock I painted yesterday. I really love making these, they are relatively quick to do, they are beautiful sea rocks from here in Newfoundland, and they make me happy painting them! I think thats worth pursuing don't you? Why not try it out yourself! My rock painting workshops were super fun this summer, kids and adults alike can really enjoy this. :-)

Enjoy!
Lori

  10. It's a good thing I was home alone when I saw this--I squeed so loud, it's embarrassing.

    Also, now the cats are looking at me funny. Good job!

  11. Caela you are too funny. I always make intentionally high pitched noises around cats... for some reason I get the urge to squeal "KITTTYYYY!!!" really loudly. It's amazing how fast they run! :-D I LOVE cats! HAHA!

    1. Hi Vanessa! Mommyhood has sort of put me out of commission for a little bit. But I will try to get more painted this fall/winter and up on my website to sell. Prices vary on size and complexity. Thanks for your interest! I will post when I have more to sell. Thanks! :-)
