I am insanely obsessed with owls.

Great thread! Somewhere I have a lot of scans of owl-prints...I'm going to start searching for them!...

How cute is this thread?

 

[twistelette]

great thread! I especially love all the owl accesories, wouldn't mind to own an owl belt... I think it fits in wonderfully with the new gothic aesthetic.
come to think of it, I actually saw a leather owl key-hanger (is this a word in english?) at h&m the other day.

Some owls...I used them as "inspiration" for some owl-prints I made..unfortunately thoose are top-secret until summer 07...

A few seasons ago I did a project based on old string art motifs--including owls:

Intriguing how they seem to fascinate us / yet scare other birds away…at fleamarkets I often see whole collections some of my own vintage items:

Enid Collins box bags

Nr9...:Your owl-collection is impressing! Really like the box with the 50's cat...

Oh my goodness! I wish I would have known there were so many rabid owl fans out there.

I need to spend some time looking through the wonderful things posted, but I LOVE it all.

I did want to ask: what is it that attracts you to these birds? I wonder because in some of the research I've done on them it has become increasingly clear that the owl is not an easy bird to "pigeonhole" (yea that was bad...sorry). It has symbolised everything from evil, darkness, and witchcraft to wisdom, portents, and clarity.

Here are some more owls from my collection:

My tattoo...
some figurines I have collected
