Owls, people, talking about owls. I entered a cool design challenge on the new Artisan Whimsy site. We were challenged to either create a component or piece of jewelry- that included an owl. I chose to use a Lisa Peters Art focal for mine.
The focal just spoke to me. I think, he kinda reminded me of Bubo- the Mechanical Owl from Clash of the Titans.
Bubo in Clash of the Titans (1981 film)
Lisa Peters Cab that I used
Bubo, in Greek Mythology, was a mechanical owl created to replicated Athena's magical owl- also named Bubo.
So, if Bubo was a good enough name for Athena's Magical Owl, then it's good enough for the name of my piece. I tried to capture the metal and magic in this piece, using nickle silver, chain, pearls, gemstones, and a textured disc bead by Marsha Neal Studio, and a glass headpin drop by Genea Beads.
Here is Bubo! My Magical Owl Necklace.

Lol Bubo. I hated that owl in the movie. I thought he was pretty cheesy, but I love your necklace! It's a perfect mix of your style with the owl element. I love my headpin on the bottom! I will vote for ya when they open voting :D Good luck!

ReplyDeleteThe money line in the rebuttal from whoever Politico cheap timberland boots was quoting in throne room is this: “[Clinton] doesn’t feel under any pressure, and they see no primary challenge on the horizon. If you have the luxury of time, you take it.” This should terrify timberland outlet uk Democrats. If the campaign cocoon is so dense and so deep that courtiers are publicly quibbling in the press about the right moment for the monarch butterfly to emerge, they are farther out of touch with reality timberland outlet sale than even previous reporting had indicated.
