My friend Marilyn posted a challenge for a give away on her blog. The challenge was to make an ATC (artist trading card) Inspired by Aries the Barred Owl. This is my ATC the photo is by my DH Tim who is an amazing photographer. The owl in my ATC visited our yard recently and Tim was able to get some shots of him. He was very close to the house sleeping in a fir tree not far above our heads. It was so neat to see him so close up and personal. I transfered the image to watercolour paper with soft gel and then used pastels around the bird and glued on some scraps of this silk paper embossed with gold dots. Cheers

I like how the soft edges of the paper mimic an owl's feathers. :)

The owl is mesmerizing- especially those gazing eyes. The background is just majestic looking.
