Collage Owl Panel give away




I printed four large scale owl collage fabric panels at Spoonflower. I am keeping one and giving away three (one each to three different people - so three winners of this give away). Just leave me a comment and tell me what you would make with them. I am thinking -  a pillow, a tote bag, pillowcase dress with coordinating back fabric, wall hanging, or perfect to make something for a holiday gift.... curious what you would do. They are 16" x 16". The colors printed really well. If you are not into the give away "wait and see" - you can purchase them over at Spoonflower now.

I will pick winners at random and announce the results on Monday.

Thanks for playing and good luck!!

It's adorable! I'm redecorating a bedroom in my house for my mother who's coming to stay with me this winter, it would look perfect as a wall hanging or a pillow on her bed.

Thanks for the opportunity!

Pillow or wall hanging sounds great!

It's lovely. I think I would probably machine embroider/embellish it and maybe add a few buttons or beads, and then stretch it on a canvas.

Joy said...

Hi! I would make a pillow for my daughter's room. We already have an awesome owl painting in there. It is somewhat similar, with bright colors and a little abstract. This panel is awesome, it would be a great compliment to her room! Thank you for the giveaway! Good luck, everyone!

I love your work and this collage is no exception - really sweet. Just the right colors for my newly painted room. So, for me it would either be a pillow or a wall hanging. Thanks for offering these collages.

I would make a tote to carry my library books in. I love your owls and all of your creatures in general. Even though I have no small children I still purchase your books as they are so endearing. =)

beanie g said...

My 8-year-old just told me that the canvas he painted in his room when he was 6 is annoying now. I think I would cover the canvas with that print. It matches the colors in his room perfectly. Thanks for the give-a-way, Amy. Love all that you do!

Hannah said...

gorgeous Amy. I would use it as the centre for a cot quilt :~)

Red Fish Circle said...

Aww good luck everyone - and thanks for the comments about my fabrics and illustrations! when you work alone as an artist, you have no real concept of people enjoying what you do, it makes me so so happy.

This is so beautiful! My great grandmother collected owls and I have carried that on... I would use this on a pillow in my living room.

Please enter me in your sweet owl giveaway. I have a one-and-only daughter & even though she's only 24-years-old and not married, I'm making some unique things to put away for her children one day. This would be a unique wall quilt for her nursery.

Thanks, Beth in AL

I admire your artistic sensibility & would adore one of your creations! Thanks so much for giving us the opportunity! I'd definitely sew on a fun co-coordinating fabric border & add a few chunky quilting stitches ... stretch the whole piece over canvas stretchers & proudly hang it in Oscar's bedroom ... love it! Thanks for all your bloggy sharing!

Bec Clarke said...

Oh wow, I would definately want to make something that I would keep forever, like a cushion or even use it in the centre of a lap quilt.

Thanks for a chance to win this lovely Owl panel.
If I were to be a lucky winner I would frame the panel and hang it in the hall next to other gorgeous prints and paintings.

highwaycottage said...

Gorgeous owl panel. I'd love to maek it intoa wall hanging to decorate the wee boy's room.

FabricFascination said...

My granddaughter's room is themed in owls, so I would either make a pillow or, more likely, a quilt with the panel in the center.

mrsbeaver said...

I love those, hope I am lucky! I think I would definitely use it in a wall hanging or my grandaughters room

next door Laura said...

Lovely. I see a wall hanging in that panel's future.

Nifredil said...

I would love to have one since my son is in love with all the woodland animals and owl is off course one of our favorite animals. What I will do with it? It might be a wall hanging, a simple drawstring bag or even quilt and maybe a cushion. Firstly I would ask my son what he wants and than I would sew his wish for him. Or I would not ask him and let Snata bring him this lovelyy made of owl think.

Digital Playhouse Productions said...

The panels are awesome! I would make a tote back for my my neighbor. She loves owls (and her birthday is right around the corner).

lesleyjean said...

I would definitely make a pillow.

Masko said...

I would make a fabric calender for 2012. I'd attach a linen piece that has a calender printed on at the bottom. It'll be a cute & fun wall decor for the coming year!

John said...

Hi Amy! I love your work, and I would love to win this panel! I would use it in a gift for my soon-to-be-born nephew -- probably a tummy-time quilt. Thanks for the great giveaway!
