Owl Effigies can be found in many places, but not all.  To many cultures, the owl is a bad omen. But to others, they are a guardian or wise.  To us, they show a variety of artists displaying their wonderful personalities.  Three of these owls were commissioned and each of the others have unique memories of their acquisition.
