Flickr Favorites and Swap Packages


1. Baby Scops Owl, 2. Mr and Mrs Nature Owl, 3. Owls well, that ends well...., 4. Masked Owl

Owls have always fascinated me, their amazing faces and looks. And the fact that they can turn their head 135 degrees in either direction; they can thus look behind their own shoulders, with a total 270 degree field of view.

Hop over to ArtMind's blog to see more mosaics or to play along!



My inspiration of this week's mosaic came from the owl Psarokokalo sent us for the swap. If you fell in love with mine you can get your own in her shop. Maria also makes jewelry and naked men, mostly made of recycled material. Thank you Maria, this sweetie stole my heart :)


ViltalaKim sent us a wet felted heart, perfect to adorn a cupboard and such.
She makes beautiful felted scarves and other things.
Thank you very much Kim!




JealousyDesign has sent us gift tags, handmade and carved out of wood, perfect for special gifts. She makes gorgeous sterling silver jewelry with natural materials.
Thank you so much, Carita!



Gypseharte has sent us a wall adornment, with a heart and a star, representing our shopnames together, sweet! Joyce makes adorable felted and fimo made creatures.
Thank you so much Joyce!


Stoic has sent us a lovely pouch, thank you so much!
Tia has a shop full with scrabble tile pendants, great for presents!
