I felt this to be the perfect week to share with you these exquisite pieces by artist Ann Wood.
The owls, with wonderful names like, "Iago", "Mr. Guppy", "Pecksniff", "Rodrigo" and "Henchard" are made using found, vintage bits of Japanese boro textiles, paper mache´, Victorian bodice fabrics, Vintage buttons, World War I army blankets, even vintage threads. All are stuffed with wool and stand approx. 9"
I love this photo, depicting one of the owls in mid-creation. He looks as though he's wearing a monocle!
These are just amazing. And, mostly sold, but you can get on Ann Wood's mailing list to be notified of updates. It's well worth hopping over to her site just to see the full breadth of her work.

What a fun piece to own!
These could be even more amazing on a bigger, bolder scale.
I could see them up and animated, on the big silver screen.
Soodie:: they're TOTALLY Scary. They look like they'd yell at you. Sort of like MR. Bear in the 'Edith and the Bears" books.
