Hand Painted Owls

 I started collecting owls quite a few months ago, I really like them so I decided I should make some. :)

Here is what I did to make these cute little owls:

1. Cut the signs out the size I wanted them
2. Sanded them down really well
3. Primed and painted them white
4. Stenciled on the owls
5. Hand painted the little guys
6. Put a clear sealer on them

On one of the signs I sanded down some areas on it and put a dark walnut stain on it before sealing it.
       



Yes, I realized I had forgotten a wing, AFTER I had sealed it :(
These guys are soo cute and happy, I made this last one for a friend of mine, she really liked it. :D

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my owls!
 
What are some things that you collect?? :)

Made with Joy,

  2. Cute owls Molly!
    You know what I collect, everything! Really though, it must be cake-takers and cake plates. I think I'm getting a few too many of them.
    Love you,
    Your Mama
