Winter owls

My owls (and other birds) in their winter attire:


And my version of ringing in the new year:

That is a fantastic bracelet! I love all the owls together and with the ambers it's very woodsy feeling -

Beautiful.....

I don't have the new owl yet. Someone on the TBG forum put a swag bead between him so that it resembled feathers. I thought it was great use of a common unique.

The night owl is definitely my favorite purchase of last year.  I have tried combining lots of beads with him and although they all look great I am partial to paring him with faceted beads.  I also usually put a little rubber o-ring below his head, so that he doesn't spin quite as much.

All of your owls (and geese too) are magnificent together. The night owl is perfect with the ambers (love those dark grungy ambers!) , giving it the color of plumage. You are making me want it now. It is owl mating season, you will have to wear those outside at night and see what happens!

Magnificent! Both combos.

The one with all the owls is fantastic! I was afraid of owls when I was a kid so seeing that many in one spot even now is a little shivery for me, but in a good way.   

Those owls look so fierce, all staring at me.  I love the dangling one and the one to the left of him.  Who made them?

oo I love owls!!! yes please can you tell us where they are all from xx

I am honestly impressed by such beauties!!

I love the colours!! Very nice bracelets  

Beautiful!

Hmmmm maybe I'll try that. I would love for owls to move into the neighborhood. I occasionally see one fly through and always hope they will stay!

Owls in the top photo from right to left: Pandora owl, TB owl, RBF night owl, the dangle one is a actually a silver plated pendant that I found on a clearance rack for $10, and the last owl is made by Carousel beads. Bottom photo is TB night owl pendant.

If u want I can see if there is another pendant on the clearance rack. The carousel bead is the one with expensive international shipping we discussed before--if u need a fairy let me know.

kyhalfpt, you are a treasure! I saw your pictures during breakfast this morning, fell in love then got inspired and went right back to my bead box, exchanged a few glass for greenish ambers and all silvers except the snowdrops for owls and have had a wonderful new bracelet thanks to you  Thank you

I love your winter owls!     

Great bracelets! I bet you are excited about the TBs spring birds. TFS!

Thank you x I love the carousel one x

Thanks for the kind offer but I am a bit of a silly snob about silver plating.

 I understand completely--I am also a snob about silver plating--but when it comes to owls...well...I have to make an exception.  I was actually looking for owl earrings when I found the little pendant.

What a great collection of owls!
