More and more Owls (Part 3)

'Along with leaves, owls are another key theme for the Alpine, cropping up on cusions for Nordic Elements'
(Mix, 2013, p.56)
In photo text: Nordic Elements, Andreas Engesvik

This old owl looks quite spooky, like some kind of bird guarding a cave.

I adore these wooden toys, they again share the large round eyes of the owl and the beak is cleverly integrated as a corner. T
hese were from an article titled 'Accessories Wooden Toys'.
'More birds, this time owls, come form Matt Pugh. This is the British based designer's signature range, made from oak or walnut and with a slick of colour on the owl's crown.'

Furniture - to be dumped

I know what your thinking...
no, I didn't put it outside university to be skipped,
that was someone else and no doubt for good reasons.
First obvious one was that the cupboard was lacking a door.  
That little doodled motif looks pretty,
commonplace and medieval like,
but it looks good where it is.

Surface doodles

Some surface doodles that caught my eye in the art studios at uni. They use simple shapes, but these shapes have a bold imprint into my own mind, its very hard not to like them.
Simple flower shape, clumsy like build but adds that childish imperfection that I like.
I wish I took more photos of this, using circles and building in shapes inside each outline of the middle circle.
A dripping gaping circle, kind of like a wormhole. Rapid movement marks.
