The Charmed Life: January 2014

The lovely Lisa Lodge is hosting a blog hop. It's theme: Into the Forest.

And so into the forest we go...

I started with this mix of beads from Lisa.

I added two owls...

...some sari silk...

And a poem by Jack Prelutsky...

There's a wide-eyed owl

With a pointed nose,

He has pointed ears,

And claws for toes.

He sits in a tree

And looks at you,

The flaps his wings, and says,

"Who...who...whoo!"

An unassuming owl

Having little else to do

Remarked within the darkness

A discreet and subtle, “Whoooo!”

A self-important owl,

Puffed and pompous in the gloom,

Responded with an overblown,

And condescending, “Whoooooom!”

And the leaves?

I had to leaf them alone.
