Short Eared Owl on a clematis flower wreath
This short eared owl sculpture is made of hand printed papers in copper brown, white and pale gold. She has a black beak and yellow and black eye details. I think she looks a bit like she’s wearing eyeliner! She perches on a branch of lilac and peach clematis flowers, accompanied by some leafy stems.
32 cm (13 inches) wide and tall. the owl is 19 cm (7.5 inches) tall.
Varnished with a UV protective lacquer. All my sculpture need is a tickle with a feather/microfibre duster every now and then.
Hangs from the wall via suspended fishing line and a little steel hook.
Arrives wrapped in a box adorned with paper ribbon, ready to give as a gift, or as a nice present for yourself.
Clematis flowers traditionally represent ingenuity and mischief. This is thought to be because of its ability to climb up seemingly inaccessible walls and other tricky surfaces.
Short eared owls are diurnal, and one way of knowing this is by looking at the colour of their eyes, which are yellow. Nocturnal owls, such as barn owls, have dark eyes, while crepuscular owls, such as Long eared owls, have orange.

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.
