“Beautiful and Meaningful Owl”

This owl caught my eye from the moment I saw it. Although smaller than expected,it is still something I cherish. Only concern is that the back of the owl is full of scratches. A bit disappointing. But I love it, nonetheless. Thank you, artist and Novica.

“sweet and pretty”

This was a Christmas gift for a dear friend who loves hummingbirds. She loved them! Each one was unique and together they made a very nice addition to her holiday decor. And the gift wrapping was truly beautiful and made the gift that much more special for my friend. Thank you!
