Owlette Now As Prints

Heh Everybody....look at WOO's just Perched In The Shop...


Visit my shop for a lovely soul-drenching dose of whimsy and colour.

Well that's all for today,
sorry lovely peeps but my poor noggin is too sore to write much more today...
p.s.  I am so so glad that I discuss and share my life as a migraine sufferer, here on this blog o' mine
because I get so many people writing me saying 'Heh I suffer too...' and than we share our stories
and it's some how nice to know others are out there in the same boat.

It's pouring here today...the rabbits are by the back door getting some fresh air.
And after a bit of a lie down with my trusty heat and ice packs, I'll be spending the day with
some watercolours...(pounding be damned) WHOOT WHOOT...ha ha.

Owlette Obert & Rabbity Romps

Today I show you the last of my creations in the "Owlette" series...

This little guy's name is 'Obert'

I am sure I'll be making more of these little guys. 

I just have to make sure to cut the owl shapes before winter hits because

than I can't get to my tools & scroll saw in the garage.

....

I've been working on the most adorable little felt/stitched/beaded brooches and I can't wait to show you.

but right now I am rushing off to bring our precious Ella Luna outside.

It's been a somewhat stressful balance of making sure my little one gets enough exercise for her

leg troubles but than again not too much exercise...

it's hard hard hard to see my sweet girl get old and to not be as nimble as she once was...

Jon can tell when my hearts squeezing & is feeling all crumbly and he's constantly passing along the assuring 'She's Okay Mandy...we all get old and rickety'

...But still, I think my heart flips about 100 times a day because

a lifetime with this precious heart isn't nearly long enough...

but enough of that...

and outside we go.

Have a wonderful day everyone and

thanks for hopping in.  I hope your all able to get outside and enjoy the day with your furry hearts.

Owlette Oralee

Introducing the 2nd last Owlette....

This quiet sweetie is named

"Oralee"

I had alot of fun with all of the Owlette characters but especially the colour scheme on this one.
(Prints of the Owlettes are coming soon).

Well, that's all for today...I am off to bring Ella Luna, Roo, Jinny and Jaks outside for the day
along with my coloured pencils & perhaps a pot of Bengal Spice tea. 
I've had a bad couple of days with head pain and I still feel like I am recuperating
so I think I am going to let myself bring my book along as well...
Hope you all have a superb day & Thanks for Hopping in.

XO Mandy with a seized up neck, an aching knee, a sore tum and a sore foot!!! 

Owlette Ophira

Want to meet yet another sweet character in my Owlette series...

This one is named "Ophira"...

She's the feminine dainty girl of the group and a smidge shy as you can probably tell...

Prints of all of the Owlettes will arrive in my Etsy shop soon.

This week I am:

...Having a ball editing oodles of photos (we took over 500 at the jazz festival alone!)

...working on little watercolours out in the garden

...yogifying

...reading

....cooking lots of yummy rice dishes...

...basking in my well growing tomatoes, lettuce and cucumbers...

...feeling very excited about ordering Henna Tattoo supplies

....sitting outside with bunnies during the day and by fans in the evening...

...playing with some new headbands for myself

....crocheting...

etc

What's making your heart cheerful this week my lovelies???

XO Mandy & The Buns who need a break from the constant summer heat

Owlette Odo

Want to meet a new Owlette???

This sleepy sweetie is named...

Odo

He is one of my favourites of the series.

I love his 'tranced' look...I think sometimes I feel like this when I am in a good yoga groove, ha ha.

I don't feel much like working on final pieces lately,
but I have been doing alot of sketching & conjuring up of new illustrations & creations...
so I am off to a peppermint tea and my sketchbook and to bring my 4 babies outside...

Have a wonderful day on this beautiful day...

p.s. There is a really important petition to sign if your interested in helping to save the beautiful and majestic Ontario Caribou.  Their habitats are no longer being protected and therefore the creatures themselves will be left unprotected as well...they need us to speak up for them, especially in  a world filled with soul-less bastards who shoot at anything that breathes or walks...It takes just a few minutes to fill out the form.

XO Mandy & Ella Luna, Roo, Jinster & Jaks

Owlette Obasi

Another Owlette wanted to make his debut here on this beloved blogling of mine...

His name is 'Obasi'...

He's the wise shaman type of character in the Owlette Series.

(The originals for the Owlettes are not currently for sale

BUT Prints are on their way to my Etsy Shop SOON).

Hope your all staying extra sweet and cozy today...

I think it's about to pour here very soon so I must hurry off to bring Ella Luna outside for a quick dig before it does, otherwise I'll have one miserable little bored bunny on my hands, ha ha.

XO Mandy & Our precious Ella Luna XO

p.s. I just found out that I won this beautiful creation from my fellow bunny lover and blogland friend, the talented Annette Tait.  I am so so excited & thrilled to have one of her pieces coming to live in our cozy rabbity warren.  And, thanks to the good old tradition of the artist's swap, I have another goodie coming from her as well...when they arrive and are settled I'll photograph and post.

Owlette Odalis

Another new Owlette.

This one is named "Odalis"

I love how grouchy he looks, ha ha.

He is indeed yet another coloured pencil on gessoed pine.
I LOVE the colour mixture on this one...the turquoise, greens and oranges...scrumptious.

(Prints of Odalis & the other Owlettes are coming soon).

Tell me, DO YOU like his grouchiness?
It can't always be peaches and sunshine-y goodness now can it!
BUT Let's do try to make sure MOST of the time is, ha ha

Owlette Oakley

Happy Monday Everyone.
Today I am introducing my newest Owlette....

Oakley

Whoo wanted to fly in and say 'Hoot Hoot Hello'

(Prints Will Be Available Soon in my Etsy Shop, I'll let you know when)



You'd perhaps think that Ella Luna, Roo, Jinster and Jaks mind their mama making these Owlettes...

But No Worries...

These owls of mine are of the vegetarian nature & befriend the long-earred kind
(Oh wouldn't that be nice in real life!!!)

I've had a hell of a few days with a monster migraine plaguing me,
I lost pretty much all of Thursday, Friday, Saturday and most of Sunday night.
Most of that time was spent in a dark bedroom, covered in ice packs & with a pillow over my head,
 not fun!
Today I am still feeling abit of the aftermath and must move really slowly, ugh.
I really hope that's it for awhile.  Before this bad bout I was doing pretty well for a couple of weeks. 

I hope your all pain-free, enjoying this rainy yet cozy day and that your weeks are off to a wonderful start?

Owlette Oberon

A new Owlette...this one has a more serious and stern personality and is named 'Oberon'...

He's done in coloured pencil with a teeny bit of acrylic paint on gessoed pine. 

I LOVE him & am so pleased with how he turned out.  (prints will be available soon)

I cut all of the owl shapes this past summer & have 8 or 9 more to play with, can't wait.

XO Mandy & The Sleeping Bunnies.

Owlette Owan

Hi everyone, just hopping in today to show you a new creation.  I cut out some owl shapes from kiln dried pine quite a few weeks ago, I did about 10 of them & I had a ball designing each little character to be completely different from the next...and just last week I got around to painting the first little guy...

This series is called "Owlettes" and this little guys name is "Owan"...

I did this piece in acyclic and coloured pencil on gessoed pine.

 I am not sure yet if I'll bring the originals of this series to the gallery, to the City Streets Sale or put them up for adoption in my Etsy shop but until I decide I did just put a print version of him in my Etsy shop...

Thanks sooo much to everyone for the lovely birthday wishes, I had the best day and am feeling very very loved, lucky and completely spoiled in the studio today:D

See you all Saturday with Novembers giveaway. 

Have a wonderful day.  XO M & The Messy Buns.
