Brittney Lee: Introduction to the Owlry

Brittney Lee, whose amazing papercut artwork was previously featured on my blog here, did another incredible piece for Harry Potter Tribute Art Exhibition by Gallery Nucleus. Brittney calls this piece "Introduction to the Owlry" that features Harry introducing his Snowy Owl, Hedwig to the Owlry at Hogwarts. This piece also shows other twelve different paper cut owls cut in wonderful colors. All in all it's a magnificent piece which will be loved by both Harry Potter fans and art lovers.

Take care and have a great weekend!

Owl Themed Vintage Wedding

What a beautiful wedding! I love all the owl decor used by Kerri, the bride in her vintage inspired farm wedding in Florida. There are so many wonderful details about this wedding. I like how the different kinds of owl figurines are used as centerpieces. The owl cake toppers are so cute and go perfectly with the color palette of blue, yellow and white. The adorable bride and groom wooden masks are hand painted by the bride. For more photos visit Kerri's blog. Update: Photography by Jordan Weiland.

Noisy Neighbours: Ruth Green

Ruth Green is a talented artist who was commissioned by Tate to illustrate and write "Noisy Neighbours" for their children's picture book collection. I am enchanted by the colorful illustrations of owls, birds, snails, squirrels, bees, ducks and badgers. Ruth's work shows influences of retro patterns, 1970s wallpaper, and 60s and 70s Scandinavian ceramics. The detail in her characters and her use of bold colors makes every page of the book a feast for the eyes. Available here.
