The Wise Old Owl Amidst an Absorbed Society

The Wise Old Owl

A wise old owl lived in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Why can't we all be like that wise old bird?
                         ~English Nursery Rhyme


Owls are quite phenomenal creatures--no wonder they're so TrEnDy!
It's really quite ironic that in Western culture, owls are a symbol of Wisdom--maybe people are trying to acquire some wisdom via osmosis?

So many have lost what it is to truly perceive and understand the world, as it exists around us, which is pretty much what defines WISDOM....To fully realize where they are, what they are experiencing, how their bodies and minds are reacting.  It's simply amazing to see a population be ridden with some plague-like disorder: the inability to gain wisdom/understanding/true knowledge as a result of technology....little, tiny pieces of technology, although the larger ones play a part as well.  So many are constantly consuming, making the consumed nearly meaningless (our minds can't keep up).  So many are absorbed into their technology; abandoning the reality in which they are physically existing in.  So freakish.  I hope osmosis works, so we can have society back....one that we can be proud of.

Father's Day Is On It's Way

I have this slight obsession with making treasuries on Etsy.  With Father's Day Coming, these etsy treasuries are a wonderful shopping guide.  And, really, just plain fun to look at.

This one I will dedicate to the kind-of Billy-Bad-Ass Domesticated Guy.

A Glimpse of My Custom-Made Cards

Confession of the Week:

I have been so busy with life, that I have forgotten about my blog.

I've been making lots of cards, enjoying the warmer weather with my child, and cooking lots of yummy things.  I FINALLY perfected my pizza sauce and found that perfection came with a bit of fresh Basil and some brown sugar...Yea, yea, I know YOU'RE NEVER SUPPOSED TO ADD SUGAR TO SAUCE...well that only stands for spaghetti sauce in my book.  Anyway, I'm here to share some cards I've made for people that haven't been made for sale on etsy: so here they are, feast your eyes.











these are two designs that will be hand drawn onto 50 thank you notes for someone's wedding :)

pretty self-explanatory...big milestone birthday card

This is a card I made for a couple whose wedding we are attending this weekend.  Still don't know what to write inside.

I forgot to photograph the BEAUTIFUL Mother's day card I made my MAMA.  Oh well, she BETTER still have it, so I can take pictures....and because I made it :)

I do custom orders, but I will only do larger commissions if I like the concept--trust me this rule benefits both parties--If I don't like what I'm doing, I won't do it.  The end.  Enjoy, check out my shop, and drop me a line on etsy if you'd like something you don't see.  I love a CHALLENGE :)
