owl 3 and owl 4

Here they are- all 4.

Owl #3-

and owl #4-

and here is the story. You know I am going to be in Chicago for the Renegade Market in September, right? I was thrilled to be invited to take part in a show/contest to do my interpretation of the Renegade owl logo. The show will be going on in their Spotlight Gallery from 9/4 through 10/3 which overlaps the Market. There will be an opening, voting involved and a prize. Now for the hard part. I’ve got to pick one of these cuties to send! Ahhhh- decisions! I am definitely open to opinions…

oh, and btw, someone asked about a pattern. I think this would be a really fun pattern. I will get to work on it when I am back from Chicago, so hopefully we’d be looking at mid-October.

    I vote for owl#4 and a pattern! My son has already fallen in love with them and wants one of his own. :)

  2. Jennifer Says:

    Okay – on the bench lineup I vote for owl #2! These are too adorable – and the ear tufts are so cute!

  3. alison Says:

    While my personal favorite owl is #3, my vote is for #4 as that one reminds me the most of the logo, I think that the eyes and the fabric for the owls front are quite evocative of the “renegade owl”.

    And what a perfect pattern for the middle of autumn and before Halloween

    I vote for #4, too. He has the sweetest expression! (although I do still love Angry Owl)

  5. Ruth Anne Says:

    I just love all your owls. I can’t pick a favorite.

    Ohhhh!! These will sell real well at Renegade for sure! For the contest, it’s a tough decision…but I’d say the little brown one with the yellow face..owl #4? Good luck on the prize! :)

  12. Susan Leschke Says:

    Oh my gosh these are so cute. I’m partial to owl number 4. It seems to have an attitude and I like that!

  13. kerry Says:

    I vote for Owl #2. Although, all are cute

  14. Nahuatl Vargas Says:

    Number 4 without a doubt, his ayes are so cheerful, and number 2 looks mad.

  15. Angie Says:

    Owl #4 just jumped right out of the computer and into my heart! Pattern sounds like a great idea!

  16. Tina Says:

    I am captivated by #4′s ear tufts :D He gets my vote, after much deliberation and indecision…

  17. Andrea Says:

    I’m loving #4, although #3 is a close second!

  18. beckarahn Says:

    Owl 4 for the contest. They are all great – such fun facial expressions.

  19. Celia Says:

    Love owl #3! well done

  20. dianne Says:

    #4 looks most like their owl, love his ear hair. My favourite is still #1, frowny.

  21. Melinda Says:

    Owl number 3 is definitely not getting enough love!

  22. Signe Says:

    Number four without a doubt!!

  23. Scrapiana Says:

    Hard to choose. But pressed to make a decision, #4 gets my vote.

  24. Marie Says:

    Owl #3 looks closest to Renegade logo. My personal favorite is #4. Reminds me of an old grandpa – tufts in the ears, dressed in a mix of patterns, good size nose(beak), wide eyed look…. all it need is a pipe. Love it!!

  25. Laurie Says:

    Love the ears on the last owl. They all have personality and expression.

  26. sue Says:

    These are all fantastic in their own right and all have their own owly personalities. On the bench, the first and and last owls look angry, hungry or ready for some serious owl business. Numbers two and three look like they would enjoy the fair. I guess, if I had to choose between the two, it would be for number two. He looks like a chubby, party animal and I can so see him in a party hat. One and four, never!

    I like #3. I like the stitching on the face.
