‘Captain’s Owl’

So, owl ya doing today?

Bwahaha!

Ok, I found it funny. It’s about as ‘clever’ as I get. Unlike Andrew Burke. I need a dictionary *and* a Thesaurus just to have a conversation with this man! (He has been in China the last year, so peruse his archives as well).

And back to the owl.

I found these owl charms in Singapore this April. There were so many more gorgeous charms that I didn’t buy! *sob*

granola

Captains-Bluebirds-1.jpg 

‘Captain’s Bluebirds’

 

I know the above picture *isn’t* of Granola. Thats because I’m planning on making Granola…no photos yet.

We’ve been eating so much Granola that I figured it was bound to be cheaper to make it myself. Not that I have anything against Sanitarium and their wonderful Granola, but at $6 a box, it’s an expensive three days!

My recipe is based on the one by Smitten Kitchen. This chick rocks! Don’t blame me when you realise you’ve spent 2 hours drooling over her blog! If she hasn’t eaten or made it, then you don’t want it.

illusive flowers

‘Wench’s Leaf’

 

I’ve seen these Vintage flower beads around and haven’t been able to get hold of any until now!

These ones are pink and silver lustre and yes…I made the necklace around these beads! :)

And once again the gorgeous Freshwater Pearls I made myself buy (I have been looking at them for about 12 months in the shop), have just made this piece complete.

I’m sorry about the seabird

 

Captains-Owl.jpg 

‘Captain’s Owl’

 

So, can you tell me why you love the ‘Seabird’ so much?

I have now had four people in 9 days ask for one.

Is it the bird? Is it the colour? Is it the simplicity?

I’m asking as I have never had a response like this before!

my captain’s heart

‘My Captain’s Heart’

 

Ah, the romantic dream of falling in love with an 18th Century Tall Ship Captain…

I think I’ve watched ‘Master and Commander’ too many times.

Sigh.

alas no bird

‘Captain’s Plate’

 

Within days of selling the ‘Sea Bird’ necklace I had another three people asking for it.

Unfortunately I have been unable to get anything like the bird to make something similar.

But I have managed to get this stunning copper stamping. I have used the same vintage chain and beads as the bird and this one looks stunning!

nautical glossary

Captain-vintage-flower.jpg 

‘Wench’s Vintage Flower’

 

So I’m expecting a glossary in the mail some time soon that will help me with names for my work.

Only because I’m obsessed with the nautical theme of ‘Captain oh Captain.’

I’m not too sure how it’s going ot help me name pieces like the one above…but I promise to be creative!
