Well tinfoil...my ying must always be missing since my bank statement always scares me! Love the new sculpture....I like the simplicity of it...very calming. As for dancing naked around it...well, that might cause more harm than good if I attend, so I'll leave you to it. I'll be thinking about you dancing on the 21st though...enjoy!

I thought so too... but it doesn't have the flattened face... BUT the other day, while I was out jogging, I found an IMMENSE feather and was told that it was an owl feather.... maybe the two go together? I hope the little guy survived... Thanks!

Hi Dirtgirl, I think you're an Indian. (that's a compliment). Do owls moult? Are you sure they're owl feathers?

and people don't want to wade through all that. Gratifying that you enjoyed it. I never had seen an owl close up like that even in a zoo, saw one in my tree high up that had ticked off about 15 crows, no camera lens I had then or now that would reach that far, they have to come to me lol. It is truly those eyes. How I wanted to adopt it, but I knew that would be selfish and the animal control people could have made things extremely difficult for me if they got wind of it. My son said, "Mom, why don't you just take it in and feed it." I might have done that, but gambeled (wish they had a spell checker, I'm getting bad) that it would be better off in the wild. You have no idea of the anguish I felt when it got on that wire, worried that it would get on the hot one. But I knew that it was stronger to get up there which meant it must have been getting some nourishment. I had dreams of training my own owl, have a leather shield made for my arm for it to perch on like those falconers in the old books and movies had. Maybe in another life? I try not to entertain such thoughts, but sure would like to meet up with it again in a better world. I kept a little feather that stuck to my clothes so I know it belonged to that owl that I put in the envelope of little things I want buried with me, along with a clipping of my favorite cat's fur. Now that is silly, isn't it? A hanky I gave my grandmother when I was little, silly little things, I'm not through yet lol. Really, the only aid I gave it was keep it off the ground so a dog wouldn't get it or the neighbor kids get to fooling with it, tried to keep it quiet around here, but finally a few got wind of it and were quite fascinated. I also have two owl feathers I picked up in the yard and put them in a small pottery vase one of my children made in school. I like that. I'll finish my silly story. I'm sitting in the one a/c room, finally turned it on, it is sizzling hot and humid, and I hear a ruckus outside, open the window and see three kids in my apple tree going for the green apples. Can anyone relate? I told them to come down from the tree, it wasn't safe. So I go get my apple picker, went out in the heat, and got them each a green apple, one wanted two and bigger, of course. I told them they were sour. They only wanted them because they were hard to get to. They will be back when they think I'm not looking lol. I hate to be like that, but because of lawsuits and parents, I don't want kids getting hurt on my property even if I have insurance. Some people just go for as deep pockets as they can find . . .a different world out there.
