I know that owls are all trendy again, but whenever I see owl decor I think back to the hundred or so decorative owls that used to sit on my grandmother’s mantle.  Today’s designs are cuter but it seems that they have been popular for a long time.  Earlier this summer my kids begged me to take them to Glazed Bisque-It, a local ceramic studio (which was also trendy in the 70s along with the owls).  I usually don’t paint a piece myself, but I have really been wanting a cookie jar.  What do you know, but they had this awesome owl cookie jar.  So I HAD to paint it.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE him.
