Silent Flyers

Yes.

Owls are trendy right now. 

But they are fantabulous creatures!!!!

yes, they are.

*Owls have three eyelids: one for blinking, one for sleeping and one for keeping the eye clean and healthy.

* A group of owls is called a parliament, wisdom or study. Baby owls are called owlets.

* A Barn Owl will eat up to 1,000 mice per year.  If you're a farmer, get one!

*Owls have specialized feathers with fringes of varying softness that help muffle sound when they fly.  

Their broad wings and light bodies also make them nearly silent flyers.  YES- silent flyers!!

Owl w/ Baby illustration by me.  Prints will be available on Etsy soon :)  :)

make your own!!  ...and REuse while you're at it!

You need some tubes of toilet paper. Push on one side the two edges until they meet in the middle. 

That is already the form of the figure with its ears. Start painting.
