Robin nursechick says:CC, what a beautiful pick! I too love owls! Their lonesome melody is comforting to me. But I’m pretty sure some mouse or rabbit running around at night is scared to death. Any hoooot…..This will make a great necklace!

Kathryn R says:Crystal Canary, what a smart way to deal with a sleepless night. Your pick is so fresh – love the ribbons with the copper and gemstones. Do you know what owls you heard? This is their mating season, isn’t it? We still have a resident pair of Great Horned owls in our area.

Jogi says:This is really a great pick! I haven’t tried the PH pieces but I do love to use copper and your mix with the copper is sweet! We have owls all around but I can sleep through anything! I grew up with owls that hung out near my bedroom window so I think I got used to them.

Crystal Canary says:Thank you all for your kind words. I found creating these picks can be rather soothing. It takes a while to get the hang of it, but it sure is fun. Kathryn, not sure what type of owls they were, but loved hearing them. At our last house years ago, we had a pair of Great Horned owls create a nest high in a large tree, and even had a baby. I’ve got a picture of all three perched a top–the baby was ‘fuzzy’. I will never forget that experience.

Beady Little Eyes says:Don’t know how I missed this pick but it’s lovely. The PH owl is great. I know what you mean about ideas when we’re half asleep. That owl family sounds fabulous.

Granny Nancy says:I would never have considered a pick using the copper. I love owls and love copper. Anyway, your pick is lovely and congratulations on your POD. Its a shame that many of the lovely beads and the copper toggle clasp are not available. Its always a good time to beef up ones stash. That’s how I accumulated so much over the years. I’m sure many here would say the same thing. I ordered a feathered 5-6 white owl. Its adorable. Its coming from Canada so is taking a while.
