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 :-)

Blogs that make us smile

I was lucky enough to receive this award from my dear friend Michelle of Enchanted Inspirations who is featured on Ivy's Attic. It is so warming when someone tells you that you make them 'smile' or that they like what you do which is pretty much why i originally set up this blog so that i could highlight those blogs that make me sit up and take notice for whatever reason, maybe in the artistry, words or sentiments behind their posts. So thanks again Michelle and i would like to give this award to each and everyone that i have featured so far, keep with the smiling :-)

Star of the Week

Meet Kathy, she is my Star of the Week.

Kathy of 'thedreamygiraffe' hails from South Carolina. I came across her work some time ago and we have chatted from time to time. Kathy describes herself as a mixed media artist. I love her bright, cheerful, whimsical yet inspiring and encouraging paintings and prints. I know Kathy has been having a bit of a hard time of late so i hope things are looking up. Please stop by and take a look by following the linked piece below :-)

Star of the Week

Meet Kathy, she is my Star of the Week.

Kathy of ‘Moongazing Hare’ never ceases to amaze me with her artistic talent. At Christmas I was taken by her drawing of a girl with a reindeer shown above, adorable.
Kathy describes herself as a traditional artist working mainly with coloured pencils and pastels. You can see the detail that goes into her work, millions of strokes of the pencil. Kathy definitely enriches my life with her abilities. Stop by and take a look for yourself by following the linked piece below :-)
