Printable Irritable Owls

Good morning, friends! I have a fun printable for all of you who enjoy paper crafts. You can download your own "irritable owls" template from a blog called Chemical 9 to quickly make a paper toy owl. Bryan C. Ratliff is the author of the blog and the creator of many such wonderful paper toys. Each print out sheet will give you four different colored owl templates, so make as many as you want. Simply grab a blade, scissors, glue and the template to get going. These are perfect to give to a friend who loves owls and for Halloween decorations.

The Sound of Clocks

The Sound of Clocks (Tik Tok, Bunyi Jam in Persian) is a lovely pictures book for children written by Akram Ghasempour and illustrated by Parisa Shahandeh. I am afraid, the book is not written in English but the illustrations are simply delightful and deserve to be featured and shared with you all here. The book features owls, birds in bright and textured colors in a unique style.

The entire book can be viewed at Children's Library.org. Here's a little summary from the site about the book : "The big clock hand is always busy doing his own job and pays no attention to the little hand. One night he sees in his dream that the wind has taken the little hand away and he is left all alone on the surface of the clock. Terrified by loneliness, he offers his friendship to the little clock hand and then they spend their time happily until one day the wind wants to take the little hand away. The two hands join efforts to confront the wind and finally manage to make it flee."

Korean Illustrator - Cho, Eun-Hye

I shall wrap up this week with these delightful illustrations by a Korean illustrator Cho, Eun-Hye. I love the simplicity of designs, riches of colors and textures in the artist's work. 

I am afraid I couldn't find any more information on the artist even on the artist's website - The Color Park which is in Korean and didn't translate very well into English using Google Translator. But I found another website called  Picturebook-illust.com which you must visit to view more work by the artist's wonderful artwork. I promise you'll enjoy very piece on the page.

Have a lovely weekend! I'll be back on Monday.
