new additions | Bright Owl

http://blog.brightowl.co.za/new-additions

For two years Bright Owl was my baby. For the first year I thought and planned and budgeted. I looked for good printers and worked out how to scan watercolour illustrations well. Kamers Vol Geskenke 2014. Was the official launch and the next six months were full of figuring out things like wholesale and shipping, building an online store and working on new products. Then, in July last year, my life changed completely. I got to bring my daughter home. Towards the end of last year my friend Celeste. Which ...

an afternoon with our girls | Bright Owl

http://blog.brightowl.co.za/an-afternoon-with-our-girls

An afternoon with our girls. One of my favourite bloggers, Ashley Ann Campbell from Under the Sycamore. Occasionally writes about ‘ Embrace the Camera. 8216;, encouraging women to take photos of themselves with their families. The challenge originated from a mum, Aleida Franklin, who wrote this blog post. In August 2008. In it she said…. One day I won’t be here and there will be hardly any pictures of them and their mama. So ladies, hand over the camera and get in those photos! I’ll admit to a cert...

fostering creativity | Bright Owl

http://blog.brightowl.co.za/fostering-creativity

In the last two years the Cape winter rains and two energetic Ridgebacks conspired to turn the lawn into a muddy mire and a plan had to be made. The result of that plan has made me, once again, reevaluate how I see creativity…. I think my folks did a pretty awesome job of fostering creativity and imagination in us and I am so thankful for that! There are rainy winter evenings helping my dad. Build furniture. He allowed each of us to play. In turn and by simply spending time with him, we gained a deep lov...

creating structure | Bright Owl

http://blog.brightowl.co.za/creating-structure

When I first started working on the illustrations for Bright Owl, I was a little stumped by the magnitude of the blank page. My brain definitely likes structure and, in order to appease it, I asked God for an idea to build my products around. The answer ended up being remarkably simple. Collections, each with their own, recognisable character but with enough in common that they could happily live together in a shared nursery or bedroom. The structure has been invaluable! We often say that God is the ulti...

celebrate the days | Bright Owl

http://blog.brightowl.co.za/celebrate-the-days

A while ago I wrote about how we decided to make a big deal of my dad’s birthday. Not knowing it would be the last one we’d celebrate with him…. Is very good at creating celebrations! Neither the little nor the momentous can slip by unnoticed when she’s around and her birthday dance has become famous and much-requested. This year I’m hoping to be a bit more like her (minus the dancing)…. The Bright Owl birthday calendar. Was inspired by my grandmother. Your email address will not be published.

it takes a village… | Bright Owl

http://blog.brightowl.co.za/it-takes-a-village

It takes a village…. 8220;It takes a village to raise a child.”. This year has brought this well-known African proverb to life for me – I genuinely can’t imagine how my girl and I would make it without the people of our ‘village’…. After the service we had a picnic under the trees to celebrate with this extraordinary bunch…. But just as my daughter’s been adopted into our family, so we’ve become part of a bigger tribe who walk this road with us. They’re a varied, beautiful, interesting bunch…. There are ...
