THE OWL COLLECTION

There's so much to love about owls!

Legends of wisdom, mysterious nighttime appearances, hooting, BIG eyes, swivelling heads and just plain cute.

What a remarkable subject to explore in glass. I find lots of inspiration both by looking at different species, primitive interpretations and the glass that is available.

I really don't know how to stop making these owl lampwork beads, if I kept them all I would have hundreds, so they can often be found on ebay looking for new homes. My favorite is the guy on the left peeking.

Warning... lots and lots of pictures of glass bead owls below - with more to come, maybe even pages, what a hoot. Generally they are 20mm square and 10mm thick, just little things!

Owl Glass Bead Lampwork by Georgie Field
1. Owl Nouveau
This has to be one of my all time favorites. I love the patinae effect and the jewel-like eyes, it reminds me of the art nouveau period in it's colour sense.

2. Blossom - Sold
My first blossom bead and the start of a new breed of owl. The eyes are beautifully intense, love this little one.

3. Summer - sold
Warm drifting colour, hovering dust motes. Made from a wonderful frit on a base of silver pink with raku accents and aurora eyes.

4. Honey Blossom
A new technique for me that is extreme 3D. Each feather is 'imploded' within clear glass, often used for flowers but all I saw were owl feathers. I'm thinking that there will be a new member of the Owl Blossom family soon.

Michaelangelo is one of y favorite glasses because of it's range of blues and their intensity in the one glass. The eyes are focal points because of their paler golden hue.
