\"Owl<\/a>6 Videos #428 to #433:<\/span> A wise bird of many faces… who happens to be living in my neighborhood.
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With Halloween just around the corner, plus the hooting of a little Gray Owl who lives in our neighborhood as inspiration, I thought it would be the perfect time to share this tutorial for my Wise Owl Charm Necklace.<\/span><\/p>\n

I haven’t actually seen this little owl myself, but I have heard him. Most evenings and even sometimes during the day, his “who, who, who-who” can be heard coming from the small forested area across the street from our house. <\/span><\/p>\n

My friend Diane, and several of the other neighbors have seen him, and say it is a Gray Owl. If you look this bird up on Google Images, you’ll see which type of owl he is. He could actually be a she, but since I have no idea, I will refer to this owl as a he.<\/span><\/p>\n

Any who, this owl has a sweet voice, so when I decided to create a little owl bead in his honor, I tried to give him a sweet personality… though, since each bead is hand sculpted, a variety of personalities have appeared in the tiny owl faces… including some that look down right annoyed! LOL<\/span><\/p>\n

Another Polymer Clay Artist who lives in the Vancouver Area, Joan Tayler<\/a>, makes wonderful bird beads such as Loons, Ducks, Robins and Geese. Her detailed pieces are truly amazing. Inspired by Joan’s work, I came up with a simplified method for making realistic looking feather canes you can use for adding wings to the owl bead design in this month’s Vol-064 tutorial series.<\/span><\/p>\n

To add some variety, I’ve included instructions on making a cool time worn, faux leather bound book bead… as well as a stamped metal charm… and a hand wrought charm holder and clasp. This is a fun-packed tutorial with lots of neat information you’re going to love!<\/span><\/p>\n

Posted just below is a Sneak Peak and overview of this months Wise Owl Charm Necklace Tutorial. The rest of the 6 part video series will be posted tomorrow (Friday, Sept 6th, 2013) in the Vol-064 section at the Polymer Clay Tutor Library<\/a>.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Many of you have been giving the Thumbs Up to the weekly YouTube videos, which is great… Thank You!<\/em><\/strong> However, these monthly intro<\/em> clips need some love<\/em> as well. When they don’t get as many likes<\/em>, it makes it look like they are not appreciated as much… which surely can’t be true with all the nice comments you all leave :)<\/span><\/p>\n
