\"sowasowa6\"<\/a>You may recall a certain blog post at the beginning of the year with a clever necklace much like the one you see here but white and with a barn owl. Well, that wasn’t the only owl necklace of that kind she created. She took that and created a very lively variation on the design.<\/p>\n

Now, I usually wouldn’t post the same type of design twice in a year, but there is something to be said about seeing how an artist stretches a great design. And it goes with our Fall color palette theme. And it’s really beautiful. So …<\/p>\n

If you didn’t see or don’t recall the first post on the owl necklace design by Dorota Kaszczyszyn<\/a>\u00a0of VaniLlamaArt, you can jump back to it by clicking here<\/a> before we go any farther. See how the structure is the same but she’s opened\u00a0things\u00a0up and moved from a minimal neutral palette to something wonderfully rich. The use of Skinner blends throughout gives a liveliness to the creature, with the illusion of light hitting what would be its shoulder wings and that blue on the body echoed on the end feathers. It’s a beautiful departure from the tight, stylized design of the first, which is equally stunning but with a different feel.<\/p>\n

She has also recently created a metallic owl<\/a> to add to her family which goes in the very opposite direction being very stylized and all silver. You can jump to this page<\/a> on her blog to see all of them but do dive into the posts as well, especially the one on the piece we are looking at today as she reveals how she designed and created the smooth transition in Skinner blend beads.
