Collection: Owl Quilts
DIY: IPhone Cozy
I am so excited to find this adorable tutorial on how-to-make your own owl iPhone case by Amy Cluck. She made this cozy inspired by the project posted here where you'll find step-by-step instructions with pictures. It will make a great gift if you are looking for something with personal touch and easy on pocket. Also, I think it can easily be made into a bag for a little girl by attaching some handles on it. What do you think?

Stunning figurines by Abraham Palatnik, a Brazilian artist. He creates these animals from lucite using a very interesting technique where the pattern is embedded inside the acrylic form making it visible from both sides. His pieces have become extremely popular in the last few years and sought after by collectors. I would love to own one of his gorgeous owls!

Giveaway: Wooden Owl Studs
Happy June! Can you believe we are almost halfway through the year already! In this brand new month, I have a wonderful giveaway for you by Shermaine. She owns a cute little store on Etsy - The Play Things where she sells adorable hand crafted jewelry. From her lovely pieces, she has graciously offered these Wooden Owls Studs for My Owl Barn readers.
Shermaine shares: "My reality is collected ideas. Versions of what we see, and to many a time; miss. A breeding ground of thoughtful portrayals, floating whispers, dark yet happy juxtapositions. Its all here, its why I live, and these are my gifts to you. Interpretations of one mind gone and seen to many things. But through seeing them, and living them; I have become instinctual to wake up, or provoke, everyone and let us remain as a kid once we were.
I'm a funny little thing most of the time and don't take myself that serious, but my work/creative output is another story. I read most people who are comedic are usually the most troubled/darker thought-filled ones. If that holds true, that would be me. Two very polarizing aspects that make me. Thus the name, "theplaythings"everyone of us has a story, a tale to tell. My entire goal is to manifest that all together in every shape/mood/form, and bring new understanding to such. Ravage through forgotten play things, dolls, in a trunk hidden away. That's what I want to uncover. The human condition, our slept dreams, to bring humanity back to you, me, and everyone we know."
This giveaway will have one lucky winner who will win these lovely owl studs. This giveaway is open to all international readers, so hurry and enter now!
All you need to do to participate is to follow My Owl Barn (click here to follow My Owl Barn). Make sure you leave a comment here letting me know that you are a follower.
Winner will be announced sometime on June 8th!
Update: Our winner is Shellsea. Congratulations!
