Some owls....and a horse!

Can't believe I'm actually posting 2 messages in one day!

I made the owls quite a while ago, I had to wait for hours in this little room at Pinewood's, so to pass the time I just played around with some wire and this is the result!
They are both only prototypes and I'm not yet sure when and how and where they will come into any of my pieces but I'm thinking they would be great for a workshop, fairly easy to make once you have managed to  control the thick wire that creates the owl outline....

 They are about 5cm long and 2.5cm wide, so I suppose they could be used as a pendant or maybe a brooch?
I think the reason why designers like using owls is because they are instantly recognisable....it must be the eyes!









Now I haven't made a horse out of wire-yet- but a simple little necklace for one of my nieces who likes horse riding. I found this lovely horse charm and rather than getting a sparkly silver one I went for the burnished gold one. Teamed up with a few carefully chosen beads I think this looks rather nice!







Well, that's it from me for now,
