Great Grey Owl Mama and baby
This woodland wall art depicts mama and baby great great owls, perched on a wreath festooned with white tree blossom.
This piece hasn’t actually sold yet- it is on exhibition at The Hub, Sleaford. You can contact them directly, if you’d like to purchase it, or I can make one similar for you. Do get in touch if you’d like more information.
The great grey owls are handmade from hand printed papers. Mama is white, silver and grey, with a yellow beak and eyes, with a darker feather detail around the outside of her eyes. Baby has very similar colouring, but a brighter yellow beak.
The yellow middles of the flowers complement their yellow features rather nicely.
It hangs via a steel hook with invisible fishing line at a 30 cm drop from the top of the wreath.
This piece measures 48 cm (19 inches) tall and 43 cm (17 inches) wide. The large great grey is 32 cm (13 inches) tall.
The great grey is sometimes called the Phantom of the North! This is in part because it is rather hard to spot in the wild. They are not aggressive or territorial, so do not rise to any challenge from a nearby bird or approaching human. Instead, they remain still, camouflaged in the trees, so if you live within their territories you may well have encountered one without realising!

BESPOKE SCULPTURES, MADE BY HAND
Each paper sculpture is entirely handmade, from design to hand painted paper, to every hand cut feather or petal. Bird sculptures are given their own pose and expression. This ensures every piece is unique. If you own one of my sculptures, yours is the only one of its kind.
HANGING YOUR SCULPTURE
Each wall sculpture has a hand shaped copper coated steel hook, suspended on invisible fishing line, at a 30 cm drop from the top of the wreath. This hook will hang on a nail tack or picture hook on your wall. The sculptures are robust, but lightweight, so will only require one tack.
All tree stump standing sculptures are fitted with a cork base, to ensure the sculpture will not mark your furniture.
PACKAGING INFORMATION
Every sculpture is wrapped in tissue paper, in a cardboard box, adorned with paper ribbon. All packaging comes from recycled sources and can be recycled in your paper bin again, including any stickers or paper tape.
SHIPPING INFORMATION
Delivery to any UK address is free. Shipping to the US is £20, and orders to Europe is £25. If you cannot see your location at the checkout, please get in touch and I can set that up for you.
There may be taxes or other charges applicable when your parcel reaches your country, which you will be responsible for paying. Please get in touch if you would like me to investigate what charges may be applicable for you.
CARE INFORMATION
All sculptures are varnished with a UV protective lacquer, which keeps their colours bright and seals their edges. They are easy to care for; all they need is a tickle with a feather/microfibre duster every now and then. Wall sculptures hang on the wall via a copper coated steel hook, suspended by invisible fishing line at a drop of 30 cm from the top of the wreath.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
I aim to run as environmentally friendly a business as I can. All sculptures are made with recycled 300 GSM paper. Paints, lacquers and lustres are vegan. My sculptures are wrapped with entirely recyclable packaging, from the paper ribbon to tape. I use acrylic paints and plastic eyeballs and invisible fishing line to hang the wreaths, which I use sparingly to minimise waste.
