Cathy Mendola chose Birds of Prey for the theme this month, and it's a pretty awesome theme. You are going to see some amazing work by my team members and the guests who have participated this month! I had plans of doing more than I did, as indicated by the purchases I made for the projects I had in my head. However, I have been doing some work in my house, so whenever time permitted, meaning after work and weekend hours, we were pretty much doing the room renovations. One of them is going to be my study/studio, and I seem to be foiled at every move by trying to get some work tables. So I have only one small project to show you this month. But first, the purchases!
This first Bali carved owl totem I got from fifirosedesigns on etsy - I wanted to make a mold and make my own cabochon to use in a necklace. However, I really did get around to doing that. So, I purchased the owl heads below.
These owl head cabochons are from ArtisticVariations84 on etsy - they are just fantastic, but arrived too late to make anything in time for the challenge. So they will wait until I have time to do something fabulous with them! Finally, I purchased some owl resin cabochons in the picture below.
These resin cabochons are from NixCreations on etsy - I couldn't decide on which one I wanted so I ordered 5! It's hard to see them in the photo, because we actually have a sunny day today. So, to make a short story long, here is what I made!
I chose the one I felt to be the most colorful, because I am really suffering from this winter this year. I used cup chain, which is probably my new favorite thing to do, to add color and texture. And then I just went with colors that spoke to me as sunny and fun! I hope you enjoy my post today, and hope you'll check out what everyone else made - I guarantee there are many awesome things to be seen!

And you made some wonderful purchases, they look like they will bring big fun playing with them.
I love all the pieces you purchased, but I love the beading you did around the owl cabochon. It makes the owl really stand out and the colors remind me of spring (which I am so ready for).
