Keene State College in New Hampshire has an excellent Children’s Literature Festival every year. The Festival mascot is an owl, so the college has been collecting illustrated owls (all done by children’s illustrators) for their permanent collection. In particular, they are trying to amass a parliament of 100 owls by the 100th anniversary of the college in 2008. Here’s mine:
Yep, that’s right- it’s the Great Horned Owl.
See you at the Festival!
Delightful!
As a resident of Keene I’m fortunate to be able to visit the collection whenever I want. Its fun too see all the owls together and how different they all are.
Thanks! You’re lucky, Nicole- great school and a beautiful area, too- not to mention the Pumpkin Fest! I look forward to the CL Festival this year!
ohh he’s cute!! I am hoping to get an owl done for this project too. Thanks for your nice comment on my blog!
I love that owl, Liz. Not only is he very cool, the background rocks!
Liz – I absolutely love your Great Horned Owl!! Fabulous!!
Hi Liz, How fun! I love the paisley background. What size did the final piece end up being? ‘Looking forward to seeing it live at the conference!
By the way, are you going to the party?
