Owls


Owls from our home.

We didn't set out to collect owls; they just sort of found us. They emerge in every fashion trend in various forms and interpretations and stages of abstraction and decoration throughout the decades, don't they? Our 15 month old can already say "Owl, hoot-hoot".
As I wander through our house, I realise that in fact we do have a lot of owls, so many that I'll have to do two posts to fit them all in.

Our owl at the window.


A little owl water whistle.


Gorgeous hand carved wooden owl from the U.K. I got it around the corner at the local oppy.



1970's owl, a great example of the style from that era.


Below: June Arnold bronze owl. This sculptor designed a fountain at Fitzroy Gardens Melbourne and our bronze owl was one of her prototypes .

The owl below was found by my husband in our back yard last Saturday.
