Owl Plaque on Design*Sponge
Thanks to Design*Sponge for posting about my Before and After owl parts!
… their readers’ verdict on my redo: CREEPY! And I kinda have to agree… Frames are some of the most uninteresting and bland things out there these days so I’m always looking for new ways to show off artwork and prints. Plus, the owl parts have such a big kitsch-factor that I don’t think there’s anything I could to make them not look creepy.
Plus, what’s better than a pair of glossy owl eyes following your every move? I’d say not much!
