Twit Twoo

Hello, it's been a while. I have been a bit slow in updating Ivy's Attic so i am back with a trio of artists...

My love of Owls seemed to me to be a fairly recent one. Recent in the sense of the last six months but to my surprise i am becoming aware that maybe they have been coming to me for longer than i realised. I bought some photo albums around Christmas time, or new year as mostly i off-load my pictures onto the PC and no further but i got some printed and wanted to display them. For some reason the photos didn't quite fit, i think they just need trimming. I pulled them out the other day and realised one was covered in owls. Then it occurred to me that as far back as 3+++ years ago i bought a little blue owl novelty keyring called 'Bobble' that was an affectionate term for my 'bump'. He still hangs on hubbies work bag but looks somewhat worn now. Anyhow i digress. Owls still intrigue me hence the following (well two of them at least!).

The piece above is called 'Owls Hollow' by Carmen Keys. I love stopping by Carmens blog to see what she is working on and what is growing in her garden. This her latest piece really grabbed me.

Please stop by http://carmenkeysart.blogspot.com/ and enjoy.



This piece is called 'The Keeper of Time' by Karen Davies. Karen is one of the only ladies i visit regularly that lives in England. I love Karen's work, particularly this piece and the relaxing atmosphere that awaits me when i visit her blog. Images that are magical and words that conjure up magical images.

Kathy has been a featured 'Star of the Week' and i think you can see why. She never ceases to amaze me with her beautiful pieces and i couldn't resist adding this one to today's post. Please scroll down the page for the link to her blog :-)

  1. Aw, thank you so much for featuring me on your blog! I think owls are beautiful and fascinating too -- they look so squishy I wish I could snuggle one, but I don't think they would like that very much, heheh. :)

  2. Thankyou Kerri, I too love owls they are such wonderful creatures.. I also love the woods and truly enjoyed creating this illustration for IF, as a child my father often took my sister and I to the forest where we would spend hours exploring and discovering its hidden wonders.. I think it was this feeling that I was trying to capture in my drawing..
    anyway thankyou once again for posting my work on your blog.. :)
