Sometimes Owls Appear for a Giveaway


Inspired by Mystele and Piarom, I've been painting angels lately.  

(If you want a free download of these angels, SUBSCRIBE TO MY NEWSLETTER!  It's going out in a few days, and these angels will be available without the watermark!)






I started to work on another angel, or so I thought.  I've had this tag for a long time.  I stenciled it with my Garden Flowers and Leaves stencil from Stencil Girl Products.


I began to collage stray pieces of paper onto it.
















I played around with some gesso, and then re-stenciled motifs from the Garden Flowers and Leaves stencil.



I looked for another angel, but instead, I saw an owl!









You just never know when an owl might turn up!

I used my "Renew" rubber stamp from RubberMoon to finish it off.














Do you like this quirky owl?  Leave me a comment before October 1, telling me why your home is the perfect place for this owl, and include your email address.

I will send him/her to someone who comments and includes his/her email address!

UPDATE: only 6 people commenting left me their email addresses.  And out of those 6, Random.org picked #2!  Congratulations to Judy Baker!










And now, for something completely different...

The Old Library Theater, a local community theater group, has been having a challenge called the "16 bar audition challenge."  The idea is that you sing 16 bars and nominate three other people to do so.  Each person participating is asked to donate at least $5.  Here's my little ditty.


If you are moved to donate to a very worthwhile cause - community theater - please visit Old Library Theater's Go Fund Me page.  

Your comments make me so happy and let me know you were here. I read and treasure every comment and will happily answer any questions as soon as I can.

And make sure to say why the owl should come live with you!

If you don't already, please sign-up for my newsletter HERE, and follow me on Facebook, Pinterest, Bloglovin and YouTube, so that you never miss a giveaway, and always get the latest Jessica Sporn Designs News!

    I don't deserve to win, never said a proper thank you for a gift you sent several years ago. The many other owls in our house will be disappointed that your lovely lady will not come along, however. Your art is always a delight!

    This may sound crazy but I started collecting owls because my brothers favorite restaurant is Hooters. I have never been to one but since our dad passed away we are te only two left in our family so I collect owls to feel close to my brother. And this one is super cute. adlopez77(at)gmail(dot)com

    I'm a huge owl fanatic and this owl needs to be hanging out in my craft room to provide me with inspiration. Maybe it can whisper all of your creative secrets to me to give me a jump start!

    This owl would be happy in our home, for we have a resident owl in our yard, and this little guy would be comforted by the sounds of the one outside. Besides, our family love owls because, not only are they beautiful animals, they keep rodents away. Our resident owl sings me to sleep each night. Thank you for the opportunity to own one of your pieces of art.

    Hi Jessica! It's been awhile-sorry. But I am thrilled I didn't miss this-your angels are positively divine and would make for a wonderful spiritual deck of cards(hint)! Your owl is super sweet too. Loving your colorful style!

    This owl is truly delightful! My home is in need of this Renew owl! I was laid off from work in March so the past six months have been about renewing and reinventing myself. So far no new job, but I joined an art association and sold my mixed media canvases at a show.

      Hey Jean - that's wonderful about selling your mixed media work. Joining an art association is a great way to have camaraderie and support on your journey. Keep "renewing" and reinventing!
