Featured Artist of the Month | February For this month’s feature I believe I’ve found something extraordinary. Moonlight Mine deals with jewellery, this in itself isn’t extraordinary but the pieces of  jewellery certainly are. Not only are they beautiful in arrangement and colour, they change colour, too. Each piece is made with hand painted and colour shifting stones that range from purple to blue, or vice versa, from plum to brown, red to orange and many more. Did I mention that the pieces’ names stir every Whovian’s heart with themes like River Song, Tardis (blue necklace at the bottom), time lord, even Torchwood.  Yes, I know. This is not a Doctor Who blog but since I’m a Whovian you’ll have to deal with it. Moonlight Mine’s products range from beautiful earrings and rings to astonishing necklaces. Did I mention they shift colour?  And that they are affordable? That they would make a brilliant gift for a friend, a fellow Whovian, or a gift to yourself? Did I mention the shipping isn’t overpriced? And that the code BOOKOWLS10 will get you 10% off? Shoo, away with you, go visit Moonlight Mine on etsy Moonlight Mine on facebookPS, Moonlight Mine’s owner, Teresa, happens to have another etsy shop, Rogue Rosalie, that shows her artwork and prints of those, with many of them featuring owls.

Featured Artist of the Month | January

See the sixth picture? The one with the green bow? Yes? Good. Lovely, isn’t it?
Lovely and - mine, shoo, get your own card. Luckily, getting your own owl card, owl bookmark, owl envelope, or owl tag, has never been easier.
The above featured products are made by Isi, the artist behind The Mystical Triangle Owl.

Now, let’s be honest. Most of us don’t have so much money as to throw it around. The products from The Mystical Triangle Owl have the huge advantage of being affordable with everything in the shop being priced no more than 3€.
But it isn’t the mere affordability that makes The Mystical Triangle Owl’s products outstanding. While this particular owl that features the products is a rather common motive thanks to the Stampin’ Up Owl Punch, it is the arrangement of owl and additional details, the colour scheme that made me fall in love with Isi’s works.

Featured Artist of the Month | December

You may have noticed by now that I can’t resist an adorable owl plushie/pillow,
of all the owly things out there owl cushions are probably my very favourite.
I’m sure it doesn’t come as a surprise then that this month’s featured artist offers a range of owl plushies (see image 1, 2, 3, 7 and 8). Yes, I’ve fallen in love. Again. So if someone out there wants to give me a christmas present… :p 

December’s Artist Anna Jakob calls the small label Anna Golightly her own, a label she sells in her very own (real) shop in Hamburg, Germany.
Don’t worry, though, her products are available online as well. 
Apart from the owl cushions many more plushies are available, all made by hand and with much love and care for details.

Personally, I find the music box owls (see image 1, 4, 5 & 6) a very smart idea but my absolute favourite, as you may have guessed already, are the cushions, asdfghjkl, I’m serious, someone get me one for christmas!

But instead of letting me bend your ears, why don’t you convince yourself of the talent behind Anna Golightly and pay a visit to:

Anna Golightly - Homepage
Anna Golightly on Facebook

Please note that the products on Dawanda are but a small choice, you will find additional products
(wash bags | key chains | jewelery | postcards | stamps)
on Anna Golightly’s homepage.
Although the product’s descriptions are written in German, the shop owner speaks English, too, and if google’s translation service won’t suffice and|or communication problems arise, I’m sure she’s happy to help, as am I. 

Featured Artist of the Month | November

Before I start - someone buy me that stuffed pillow owl, no, seriously,
I will love you forever if you do (▰˘◡˘▰)
The lovely owl pillow I’m talking about (see the pictures above) is made by this month’s Featured Artist Emma Margaret, a 19-years old Illustration student located in the UK.
In her shop, Doodle Design, she offers a wide range of illustrated cards, prints & notebooks (let’s not forget about the pillow!).
What I like especially about her designs are the filigree details of her work,
and there’s always something new to discover.
I’d go so far as to compare it to a book, every re-read offers something new you haven’t noticed the last time you read it. Also, pillow! 

With this artist you’re in for a treat, dear fellow owl-lovers.
Because, and that’s just another thing I really, really like, on her blog she shares her ideas, posts sketches, inspirational quotes, monthly wallpapers for your desktop, colour combinations, and images of her work process.

Btw, Emma has just finished her Christmas Cards, one of which features an adorable owl! Because the cards are limited in number you won’t find them in her etsy shop, but you can get them via her facebook.

I don’t know why you should be still reading this when you could browse through Emma’s shop and blog but, as I said, you’re in for a treat because not only is Emma a very talented artist, she’s also so kind as to provide a 15% discount for followers of Bookowls. Nope, there’s no forced liking | reblogging | sharing; simply write an ask for the code that gets you 15% off.

First of all I would like to thank the lovely Annya Kai again, thank you so much!
The print is so very beautiful, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Unfortunately, I’m still not a millionaire but I found some more owls that would instantly be mine if I were.
Now, I don’t know about you but I don’t mind being called a nerd, 
as John Green put it:
“Saying ‘I notice you’re a nerd’ is like saying, ‘Hey, I notice that you’d rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you’d rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan.”
I like being a nerd. I like nerdy things. I like my nerd glasses. I like owls.
I like nerd owls; what are nerd owls? 
Why, look at Heather’s adorable owls, those with glasses, nerd owls!
But wait, there is more!
Not only does she craft nerd owls (seriously, N E R D owls!) but pirate owls, mustache owls and ‘normal’ owls.
What I really like about the owl plushies is the choice of fabric, colourful, always fitting, never boring - also, nerd owls

If your budget is rather limited, do not despair.
Apart from the plushies there are owl magnets as well as owl sets available.

I’m so in love with her peacock art that I included it in the compilation BUT her owls… would you just look at them? Adorable. Beautiful. Gorgeous. Amazing. *Insert any word with a positive connotation in here*Annya Kai has an amazing eye for colours as her works (done with water colours, gouache and fine liner ink pens) prove. And the best thing is, one (or several) works of her can be yours, there’s something for everybody’s price range since she offers not only her original work but also different-sized prints as well as postcards, buttons and mirrors.Annya Kai on EtsyAnnya Kai on FacebookP.S. Should I ever win the lottery (please ignore the fact that I don’t even play the lottery) I will buy everything, e v e r y t h i n g!
